Lenwood bowl barrow is a Bronze Age burial mound located in Devon, England, situated approximately fifty metres south-east of Lenwood Cottage. The monument is classified as a bowl barrow, the most common form of Bronze Age funerary monument, comprising an earthen mound raised over a primary inhumation or cremation burial. Bowl barrows of this type typically date to the early to middle Bronze Age, broadly between 2100 and 1500 BCE, representing a significant period of ritual burial practice in prehistoric Britain. The barrow survives as an upstanding earthwork and remains a notable example of Bronze Age funerary architecture in the Devon landscape.
