Two bowl barrows 170m west and 200m south west of Berry Down Cross is a Bronze Age funerary monument forming part of a round barrow cemetery on Berry Down in Devon. The two barrows are typical examples of bowl-shaped burial mounds characteristic of Bronze Age burial practices in south-western England, constructed during the period from approximately 2000 to 1000 BC. Their location within a larger cemetery indicates the ritual and ceremonial importance of Berry Down as a burial ground during prehistoric times. The barrows survive as earthwork monuments and contribute to the archaeological landscape that documents Bronze Age settlement and funerary practices in Devon.
