Three bowl barrows 170m and 270m east of Friendship Farm is a Bronze Age funerary monument located in Devon. The site comprises three separate burial mounds characteristic of the Bronze Age period, when such earthworks served as prominent markers for elite or community burials within the landscape. Bowl barrows represent one of the most common forms of prehistoric burial monument in southern Britain, typically constructed as low, rounded mounds of earth and stone covering central grave pits. The positioning of these three barrows in close proximity suggests they may have formed part of a larger funerary landscape and ritual complex in the Bronze Age.
