A bowl barrow and ring ditch 700m WNW of Challacombe Cross is a Bronze Age funerary monument forming part of a round barrow cemetery on Horridge Moor in Devon. The monument consists of a bowl-shaped mound with an associated ring ditch, characteristic features of Bronze Age burial practices dating to approximately 2000–800 BCE. The barrow cemetery of which this monument forms part demonstrates the significance of Horridge Moor as a Bronze Age burial landscape, with multiple barrows indicating repeated use of the site for funerary purposes across an extended period. The survival of both the mound and its associated ditch provides archaeological evidence for burial practices and territorial organization during the Bronze Age in south-west England.
