Bowl barrow in Heathermoor Plantation is a Bronze Age burial monument located approximately 50 metres north east of Petrockstow Station in Devon. The site consists of a circular earthwork mound characteristic of bowl barrows, a common funerary form across southern Britain during the Bronze Age, typically dating from around 2000 to 1500 BC. Such monuments served as focal points for the disposal of cremated or inhumed remains and often represented the graves of individuals of some standing within their community. The barrow's survival in its woodland setting has preserved its archaeological integrity as a monument of local and regional significance to Bronze Age settlement and burial practice in Devon.
