Three bowl barrows 180m east and 300m north east of Stowford Cross is a Bronze Age funerary monument comprising three round burial mounds located in Devon. Bowl barrows of this type represent a common form of elite burial practice during the Bronze Age, typically constructed as earthen mounds covering inhumation or cremation burials, often accompanied by grave goods. The three examples at this location form part of the extensive Bronze Age barrow landscape characteristic of Devon's upland regions, where such monuments frequently occur in clusters or linear arrangements. These burial mounds constitute an important archaeological resource for understanding Bronze Age mortuary practices and settlement hierarchies in south-western England.
