Three bowl barrows on Lympstone Common, 500m west of Fryingpans, is a Bronze Age funerary monument comprising three round barrows situated on common land in Devon. The barrows represent typical examples of Bronze Age burial practice, when such earthen mounds were constructed to mark the graves of individuals or small family groups. The three monuments survive as distinct circular earthworks, though their precise dimensions and state of preservation are subject to the variations typical of upland common land over more than three thousand years. These barrows form part of the wider archaeological landscape of Bronze Age activity documented across Devonshire.
