Bowl barrow 610m south east of Elworthy Cross is a Bronze Age burial mound located on Exmoor in Devon. The monument consists of a circular earthen mound typical of bowl barrows, a common funerary form dating to the Bronze Age period. Such barrows served as repositories for cremated or inhumed remains and often contained grave goods reflective of the status of the deceased. The site's survival in the upland landscape of Exmoor provides evidence of Bronze Age settlement and funerary practices in the south-western peninsula.
