Bowl barrow immediately south of the cricket ground and pavilion in Mount Edgcumbe Park is a Neolithic or Bronze Age burial monument situated within the designed landscape of Mount Edgcumbe in Cornwall. The barrow survives as a low, rounded earthwork characteristic of bowl barrow form, comprising a central burial mound with a shallow surrounding ditch. Such monuments typically functioned as communal or individual burial places and represent significant ritual and funerary practices of prehistoric communities in south-west England. The barrow's survival within the later parkland demonstrates the persistence of these ancient features within the managed estate landscape.
