Bowl barrow 240m south west of West Dyke is a Bronze Age burial mound located in Devon, England. The monument comprises a circular earthwork characteristic of bowl barrows, a common funerary monument type constructed during the Bronze Age period. Such barrows typically contained cremated or inhumed remains, often accompanied by grave goods, and served as enduring markers within the landscape for communities of the second and first millennia before the common era. The barrow's survival as an earthwork feature contributes to the archaeological record of Bronze Age burial practices and settlement patterns in Devon.
