Three bowl barrows 250m west of Bower is a Bronze Age burial monument located in Devon. The site comprises three round barrows of the type characteristic of Chalcolithic and Early Bronze Age funerary practice in south-western England, typically dating to the period between approximately 3000 and 1500 BC. Bowl barrows of this form consist of a central burial chamber or grave covered by an earthen mound, and their presence in clusters suggests significant settlement or territorial occupation during prehistory. The monument remains substantially intact and represents an important survival of funerary archaeology from the Bronze Age period in the Devon landscape.
