Waterfall Low bowl barrow is a Bronze Age burial mound located in Staffordshire, England. The monument survives as a well-defined earthwork and represents a characteristic form of funerary monument from the second millennium BCE, when such barrows served as communal or individual burial places for members of Bronze Age communities. The site's preservation has allowed it to retain its recognizable bowl-barrow form, comprising a low circular mound with a surrounding ditch, which is typical of the period's mortuary practice in the English Midlands.
