The Bowl Barrow 200 metres south-east of Scarnor Point is a Scheduled Monument located in Cornwall. This Bronze Age burial mound occupies 0.06 hectares of land and sits upon bedrock of Middle Devonian age, composed of mudstone, siltstone and sandstone formations. The monument is protected by Historic England under reference number 1004479 and reflects the cultural practices of communities who inhabited this coastal landscape during the Bronze Age, when such burial structures served as prominent territorial markers across the Cornish peninsula.
Bowl barrows represent one of the most common forms of prehistoric burial monument in Britain, typically constructed from earthen material heaped over grave deposits. The rounded mound form that gives these monuments their name would have been visible across the surrounding terrain, creating a lasting landscape feature for Bronze Age populations. The barrow's position south-east of Scarnor Point places it within an area rich in archaeological heritage, where such monuments cluster along the Cornish coast.
The monument's survival to the present day, despite more than three millennia of agricultural and coastal activity, demonstrates the enduring significance of such burial sites within the landscape. Its scheduled status ensures protection for any subsurface remains and archaeological deposits that may lie beneath the mound, preserving evidence of prehistoric burial practices and the communities who constructed it.
