Bowl barrow 230m south west of Middle Taphouse Farm is a prehistoric burial mound forming part of a round barrow cemetery in Cornwall. The monument dates to the Bronze Age and represents a significant example of the funerary landscape that characterizes this period across the Cornish peninsula. Bowl barrows of this type typically consist of a central burial chamber or pit surrounded by an earthen mound, though the specific internal arrangements of this particular example would require archaeological examination to fully establish. The survival of this barrow as part of a recognizable cemetery group demonstrates the importance of this location as a burial ground during the Bronze Age, contributing to our understanding of prehistoric settlement patterns and ritual practices in Cornwall.
