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 consists of two distinct burial mound types: a ring cairn, characterised by a circular arrangement of stones with a central hollow, and an associated bowl barrow, the most common form of round barrow in Bronze Age Britain. The monument is situated within a wider necropolis on the hill, reflecting the practice of clustering burial mounds across the landscape during the Bronze Age period. The site is scheduled as a monument of national importance and contributes significantly to understanding Bronze Age mortuary practices and settlement patterns in Devon.
