Bowl barrow 540m south east of Sandymoor Cross is a Bronze Age burial mound located in Devon, England. The monument forms part of a round barrow cemetery, indicating a concentration of funerary structures typical of the second millennium BC when such communal burial grounds were established across the county. The barrow exhibits the characteristic hemispherical or bowl-shaped mound form that gives this class of monument its name, created by the accumulation of soil and stones over a central burial pit or cist. As one element within a larger ceremonial landscape, the barrow contributes to understanding Bronze Age settlement patterns and mortuary practices in this region of south-western England.
