History & significance

The Cregou bowl barrow and enclosure is a Bronze Age monument situated approximately 900 metres south-east of Park Farm in Cornwall. The site comprises a bowl barrow, a common funerary monument type of the Bronze Age, accompanied by an associated enclosure that would have served ritual or ceremonial functions typical of prehistoric Cornish settlement patterns. The bowl barrow represents a form of burial monument characteristic of the early to middle Bronze Age period, when such earthen mounds were constructed to mark the graves of individuals or families of social standing.
