Bowl barrow 250m west of Starve Lark Farm is a Bronze Age burial mound located in Somerset. The monument consists of a circular earthen mound of typical bowl barrow form, a common funerary structure dating to the Bronze Age period. Bowl barrows of this type served as burial monuments for individuals of status within prehistoric communities, and their distribution across the English landscape provides evidence for settlement patterns and social organisation during the Bronze Age. The site's survival as an upstanding earthwork makes it of archaeological significance for the study of prehistoric burial practices in the South West.
