Long barrow and two bowl barrows, 200m south east of Chapelcombe is a Neolithic and Bronze Age funerary monument complex located in Devon. The site comprises a long barrow of Neolithic date together with two later bowl barrows of Bronze Age period, representing successive phases of burial practice across more than a millennium. Long barrows are characteristic communal burial monuments of the Early Neolithic, typically featuring linear earthen mounds with internal burial chambers, whilst the bowl barrows reflect the individual or small-group inhumation practices characteristic of Bronze Age funerary tradition. The monument survives as earthwork remains and contributes to understanding of prehistoric settlement and burial patterns in south-western England.
