Four bowl barrows divided by the B3174 is a Bronze Age funerary monument located on Farway Hill in Devon, forming part of a wider round barrow cemetery in the area. The site comprises four distinct bowl barrows, a common burial monument type of the Bronze Age, with their arrangement interrupted by the modern road construction of the B3174. Bowl barrows represent one of the most prevalent forms of prehistoric burial mound in southern Britain, typically containing cremated or inhumed remains within a central grave pit surrounded by an earthen mound. The cemetery context suggests this location held ritual and funerary significance during the Bronze Age, when such clusters of burial mounds were established across the Devon landscape.
