Bowl barrow 500m W of Starved Oak Cross is a Neolithic or Early Bronze Age funerary monument located in Devon. The site comprises a roughly circular earthwork mound characteristic of bowl barrows, a common burial form across southern England during the later prehistoric period. Bowl barrows typically contained cremated or inhumed human remains, often accompanied by grave goods, and served as focal points for community ritual and burial practice. This example, situated west of Starved Oak Cross, represents the archaeological evidence of early farming societies' funerary practices in the southwest of England.
