A ring cairn and bowl barrow 540m NNE of Putts Corner is a Bronze Age funerary monument forming part of a round barrow cemetery on Gittisham Hill in Devon. The site comprises two distinct burial structures typical of the Bronze Age period, the ring cairn consisting of a circular arrangement of stones surrounding a central area, whilst the bowl barrow represents the more common mounded earthwork burial form. These monuments are part of a broader landscape of ritual and burial practice on Gittisham Hill, reflecting the systematic use of elevated locations for mortuary purposes during the second millennium BCE. The survival of multiple barrows in close proximity indicates an important burial ground of some antiquity and social significance.
