Seven round barrows and a ring barrow on Bear's Downs and Denzell Downs is a Bronze Age funerary monument complex located in Cornwall. The site comprises seven circular burial mounds together with a single ring barrow, a variant form of barrow characterised by a ditch with external bank rather than a central mound. These monuments are distributed across the landscape near Higher Denzell and date to the Bronze Age period, reflecting the ritual burial practices and territorial organisation of prehistoric Cornish communities. The survival of multiple barrows in close association demonstrates the significance of this location as a focus for funerary activity during the second millennium BC.
