Two bowl barrows 240m SSW of Wilsworthy Cross is a Neolithic or Bronze Age funerary monument located on Bodmin Moor in Cornwall. The site comprises two earthwork mounds characteristic of bowl barrow construction, a common burial form across southern Britain during the Bronze Age, though some examples may date to the later Neolithic period. These monuments represent evidence of ritual burial practice and landscape use during prehistory, and their survival on the moorland reflects the sparse medieval agricultural development of the area. The barrows remain visible as archaeological features within the Bodmin Moor complex, which contains numerous contemporary and later prehistoric monuments.
