Long barrow and two bowl barrows, 200m south east of Chapelcombe is a Neolithic and Bronze Age funerary monument complex in Devon. The site comprises a long barrow of Neolithic date, representative of early agricultural communities in southwest England, alongside two later Bronze Age bowl barrows which indicate continued use of the location as a burial ground across several millennia. The monuments survive as earthwork mounds within the landscape, preserving evidence of ritual and mortuary practice across distinct prehistoric periods. The grouping of these barrows at a single location reflects patterns of ceremonial significance and territorial importance characteristic of prehistoric Devon.
