Three bowl barrows 240m south east of Highermoor is a Bronze Age funerary monument located in Devon, England. The site comprises three separate bowl barrows, the characteristic mounded burial structures typical of Bronze Age communities in south-western England, dating to the period roughly between 2200 and 700 BC. Bowl barrows of this type served as burial monuments for individual high-status members of society, often containing inhumation or cremation burials alongside grave goods. The grouping of three barrows in close proximity reflects the common practice of establishing barrow cemeteries, suggesting sustained use of the location across generations or the burial of related individuals within the same family or community.
