Wind Low bowl barrow and standing cross is a Neolithic or Early Bronze Age burial mound located in Derbyshire, England. The site comprises a bowl barrow, a common funerary monument of this period, which would have served as a communal or individual burial chamber beneath an earthen mound. A standing cross, likely of medieval or later date, has been erected upon or near the barrow, representing a subsequent phase of ceremonial use or Christianisation of the landscape. The monument survives as a significant archaeological record of prehistoric burial practice in the Peak District region.
