A bell barrow, a bowl barrow and a platform barrow 620m west of Higher Cransworth is a Bronze Age funerary monument complex located in Cornwall. The site comprises three distinct barrow types representing different burial traditions of the Bronze Age period. The bell barrow is characterised by its distinctive domed mound surrounded by a ditch, the bowl barrow by its simple hemispherical form, and the platform barrow by its level or slightly raised base, each representing variations in Bronze Age burial practice. These monuments collectively demonstrate the funerary practices and landscape use of Bronze Age communities in south-west England.
