Bowl barrow 530m south west of Gorvin is a Bronze Age burial mound located in Devon, England. The monument consists of a circular earthwork typical of bowl barrows, a common funerary structure erected during the Bronze Age period. Bowl barrows of this type were constructed as repositories for cremated or inhumed remains, often accompanied by grave goods that provide insight into the material culture and burial practices of Bronze Age communities. The survival of such monuments across the Devon landscape provides valuable archaeological evidence for understanding settlement patterns and ceremonial practices in prehistoric Britain.
