Two bowl barrows 210m and 600m north west of Brown Down Cottage is a Bronze Age funerary monument comprising two round barrows situated on elevated moorland near Brown Down in Somerset. Bowl barrows of this type represent characteristic burial monuments of the Bronze Age, typically constructed as earthen mounds over cremated or inhumed remains, often accompanied by grave goods. The barrows' positioning on the landscape and their dual presence suggests they formed part of a wider funerary landscape typical of Bronze Age settlement patterns in the upland regions of south-western England. These monuments remain valuable archaeological evidence for understanding Bronze Age burial practices and community organization in the Somerset landscape.
