A bowl barrow 500m WNW of Ring-in-the-Mire is a prehistoric burial mound situated within a Bronze Age round barrow cemetery on Gittisham Hill in Devon. The monument forms part of a larger funerary landscape typical of the second and early first millennia BC, when communities marked their dead with substantial earthen mounds. The barrow itself exhibits the characteristic low, bowl-shaped form that defines this monument type, created by heaping earth and stone over one or more burials. As a constituent element of the recorded barrow cemetery, it represents an important witness to Bronze Age burial practices and settlement patterns in this part of Devon.
