Bowl barrow 140m south east of Burston Cross is a Bronze Age burial mound located in Devon, England. The monument survives as a rounded earthwork of the type characteristic of early Bronze Age funerary practice, dating to approximately 2200–1500 BCE.

This particular example is part of the wider barrow landscape of Devon, an area with substantial evidence of Bronze Age settlement and ritual activity.
