Bowl barrow and round cairn on Withypool Hill, 850m and 820m east of Portford Bridge is a prehistoric funerary monument situated on Exmoor in Somerset. The site consists of two distinct burial structures: a bowl barrow and a round cairn, both of which date to the Bronze Age and represent typical forms of monumental burial practice from that period. These monuments are characteristic of the ritual and mortuary landscape of upland Exmoor, where such barrows and cairns are distributed across the moorland terrain. The structures survive as earthwork features that contribute to understanding Bronze Age settlement patterns and funerary practices in the southwest of England.
