Overview

History & significance

Two bowl barrows, 350m SE of Stevenstone Farm, is a Bronze Age funerary monument located in Devon. Bowl barrows are among the most common burial mounds of the Bronze Age in Britain, typically constructed as earthen mounds covering cremated or inhumed remains and often accompanied by grave goods. This pair of barrows represents the type of ceremonial burial practice characteristic of the Bronze Age period, roughly 2200 to 700 BCE, when such monuments were erected across southern England as permanent markers of the dead and indicators of community status. The survival of both barrows as visible earthworks demonstrates their archaeological value in understanding prehistoric settlement patterns and funerary customs in Devon.
