Three bowl barrows 520m and 620m east of Lynton Cross is a Bronze Age funerary monument located in Devon, England. The site comprises three separate burial mounds characteristic of the bowl barrow type, which represent one of the principal forms of elite and communal burial practice during the Bronze Age period. Bowl barrows typically consist of a central burial chamber or grave cut into the natural ground surface, covered by a mound of earth and stone, and in many cases surrounded by a ditch from which material for the mound was extracted. These monuments are significant indicators of Bronze Age settlement patterns and burial practices in southwest England, reflecting the cultural and social practices of communities in the second millennium BC.
