Four bowl barrows 600m south-east of Small Hill Barton is a group of four Bronze Age burial mounds located in Cornwall. These bowl barrows represent typical funerary monuments of the Bronze Age period, constructed as earthen mounds raised over inhumed or cremated remains. The site's preservation and survival as a discrete group of four barrows demonstrates the importance of this location as a prehistoric burial ground. Such concentrations of barrows are characteristic of Bronze Age mortuary practice in south-west England, reflecting patterns of community burial and territorial significance during the second millennium before the common era.
