Two bowl barrows 200m north west of Fox Covert is a Bronze Age round barrow cemetery forming part of the archaeological landscape of Goonhilly Downs in Cornwall. The site comprises two distinct bowl barrows, the characteristic mound form most prevalent during the early to middle Bronze Age, dating from approximately 2000 to 1500 BC. These monuments are situated within a wider barrow cemetery that attests to the significance of Goonhilly Downs as a focus for burial and ritual activity during prehistory. The barrows represent the funerary practices and social organisation of Bronze Age communities in Cornwall, with their preservation on the open moorland providing important evidence for understanding settlement patterns and land use in the region during this period.
