A bowl barrow 460m NNW of Ring-in-the-Mire is a Bronze Age funerary monument forming part of a round barrow cemetery on Gittisham Hill in Devon. The site represents one element of a broader mortuary landscape characteristic of the Bronze Age period, when such earthwork mounds served as prominent burial structures within the upland terrain. Bowl barrows of this type are distinguished by their simple hemispherical form, typically constructed from upcast material excavated from an encircling ditch. The monument's survival as a distinct archaeological feature reflects its significance within the ceremonial and burial practices of Bronze Age communities in this region.
