The two bowl barrows 440 metres south east of Duncombe Court are Bronze Age burial monuments forming part of a larger round barrow cemetery in Devon. Bowl barrows, the most common form of round barrow, consist of a simple earthen mound raised over a central burial pit and are characteristic of Bronze Age funerary practice in southern England. These monuments are significant as elements of a cemetery complex, indicating sustained use of the landscape for burial purposes over an extended period, and their preservation contributes to understanding Bronze Age settlement and ritual patterns in the county. The barrows have been recorded within the National Heritage List for England as monuments of archaeological importance.
