Four bowl barrows on Burrington Moor lying 210m south west of Burrington Moor Cross is a Bronze Age funerary monument complex located on Burrington Moor in Devon. The four barrows are typical examples of bowl barrows, the most common form of burial mound from the Bronze Age period, characterised by their simple hemispherical or dome-shaped earthen construction. These monuments represent the funerary practices of Bronze Age communities in the south west of England and form part of the broader landscape of barrow groups that are scattered across the high moorland of Devon. The site's location on Burrington Moor places it within an area known to contain significant concentrations of prehistoric monuments, reflecting the importance of the moor as a centre of Bronze Age activity.
