Bowl barrow 260m north west of Putson Cross is a Bronze Age funerary monument located in Devon. The site consists of a circular earthwork mound characteristic of bowl barrow form, a common burial monument type constructed during the Bronze Age period. Such monuments typically contained cremated or inhumed remains and served as focal points for ritual and commemoration within prehistoric communities. The barrow's survival as an upstanding earthwork demonstrates the persistence of Bronze Age landscape features in the Devon countryside and contributes to the archaeological record of Bronze Age mortuary practices in south-western England.
