Bowl barrow 280m north east of Beacon Moor Cross is a Bronze Age funerary monument forming part of a round barrow cemetery on Dartmoor in Devon. The barrow comprises a circular earthwork with a distinctive bowl-shaped profile, typical of barrow construction during the second millennium BC. Its location within a larger barrow cemetery indicates the site's significance as a burial ground for Bronze Age communities, reflecting patterns of ritual activity and social organisation across the moorland landscape. The monument survives as an upstanding earthwork and remains an important archaeological record of Bronze Age funerary practice in south-western England.
