Four bowl barrows and a standing stone 330m west of Higher Mattocks Down is a Bronze Age funerary and ritual monument complex located on Dartmoor in Devon. The site comprises four round burial mounds typical of the Bronze Age period, arranged in proximity to an upright stone marker, a configuration common to ceremonial landscapes of the second millennium before Christ. Bowl barrows of this type served as burial monuments for prominent members of Bronze Age communities, whilst standing stones often marked territorial or ritual significance within the wider ritual geography of upland Devon. The monument survives as an important archaeological record of Bronze Age mortuary practice and monumental construction on Dartmoor.
