Bowl barrow 210m NNE of Holifield Farm is a Bronze Age funerary monument located in Cornwall, England. The site comprises a simple bowl-shaped earthwork typical of Bronze Age burial practice, constructed as a low circular mound without the more elaborate ditch systems that characterise some later barrow complexes. Such monuments represent individual or family burials from the Bronze Age period, when inhumation beneath raised mounds became a widespread funerary custom across southern Britain. The barrow's survival as an earthwork demonstrates the persistence of Bronze Age ceremonial landscape features in the Cornish countryside.
