Two bowl barrows 450m and 500m west of Leworthy is a pair of Neolithic or Bronze Age burial monuments located on the high ground of Dartmoor in Devon. These earthworks consist of simple mounded structures typical of bowl barrows, a common funerary form across southern Britain during the later prehistoric period. The barrows are positioned within the wider landscape of prehistoric ritual and domestic activity that characterises Dartmoor, where such monuments often occur in clusters reflecting patterns of settlement and ceremonial use. Their survival as upstanding remains contributes to the archaeological record of funerary practices on the moor during the Neolithic and Bronze Age periods.
