Four bowl barrows 560m south east of New Moor Cross is a Neolithic or Early Bronze Age funerary monument located on moorland in Devon. The site comprises four distinct bowl barrows, the characteristic round burial mounds of the prehistoric period that served as repositories for the dead and their grave goods. These monuments represent an important phase of ritual practice on Dartmoor, where such barrow cemeteries are common archaeological features. The barrows contribute to the broader understanding of prehistoric settlement patterns and funerary customs across the South West peninsula during the third and second millennia before the common era.
