Bowl barrow 540m WSW of St Breock Downs Farm is a Bronze Age burial monument located on the northern Cornish plateau. The barrow takes the form of a earthen mound with a circular plan, characteristic of the funerary architecture constructed across southwest Britain during the Bronze Age period, roughly between 2200 and 700 BC. Such monuments served as burial places for individuals of status within prehistoric communities and often contained inhumations or cremations accompanied by grave goods. The barrow survives as an upstanding archaeological feature and remains a significant indicator of Bronze Age settlement and ritual practice in the region.
