Four bowl barrows 560m south east of New Moor Cross is a Neolithic or Bronze Age funerary monument located on Dartmoor in Devon. The site comprises four distinct bowl barrows, the most basic form of burial mound, which were constructed as earthen and stone structures to cover individual or collective inhumations. Such barrow cemeteries are characteristic of upland Devon and represent an important phase of prehistoric ritual practice and land use on the moor, typically dating to the period between approximately 3000 and 1000 BC. The barrows remain visible as low mounds across the moorland landscape and contribute to the archaeological record of Dartmoor's extensive Bronze Age monument complex.
