Overview

History & significance

The barrow takes the form of a circular earthwork mound, characteristic of the burial practices prevalent during the Bronze Age period, roughly 2200 to 700 BCE. Such monuments were constructed to inter the cremated or inhumed remains of individuals of likely elevated social status within their communities, and often served as focal points for ritual activity. The barrow survives as a visible earthwork feature and remains of archaeological and historical significance as evidence of Bronze Age settlement patterns and mortuary practices in Devon.
