Bowl barrow 300m south west of the Merry Maidens Stone Circle is a Bronze Age funerary monument located in Cornwall. The barrow takes the form of a rounded earthen mound typical of burial structures erected during the second millennium BCE, when such monuments were commonly constructed across southern Britain as repositories for cremated or inhumed remains. Its proximity to the Merry Maidens Stone Circle, itself a significant ritual site, suggests this area was an important focal point for ceremonial and funerary activity during the Bronze Age. The barrow survives as an identifiable earthwork within the landscape, contributing to the archaeological significance of this dense concentration of prehistoric monuments in west Cornwall.
