A bowl barrow and ring ditch 700m WNW of Challacombe Cross is a Bronze Age funerary monument located on Horridge Moor in Devon. The site forms part of a larger round barrow cemetery, indicating sustained use of this upland location for burial purposes during the Bronze Age period. The monument comprises a bowl barrow, the most common form of burial mound in Britain during this era, accompanied by an associated ring ditch that would have formed the ditched perimeter of the original earthwork.
