Bowl barrow 240m south east of Upcott Cross is a Bronze Age burial mound located in Devon, England. The monument consists of a roughly circular earthwork characteristic of bowl barrows, a common funerary monument type constructed during the Bronze Age across southern Britain. Such barrows typically contained inhumation or cremation burials, often accompanied by grave goods, and represent significant investment in ceremonial funerary practice. This particular example survives as an upstanding earthwork and forms part of the broader pattern of Bronze Age settlement and land use in Devon.
