The Two bowl barrows 450m and 520m north east of Sandymoor Cross form part of a Bronze Age round barrow cemetery in Devon. These burial mounds represent typical funerary monuments of the second millennium BC, when such barrows were constructed across southern England as repositories for the deceased and expressions of social status within Bronze Age communities. The site's designation as part of a discrete cemetery indicates a concentrated area of ritual and burial activity, suggesting sustained use of the location across generations during the Bronze Age period. The preservation of multiple barrow structures at this location provides archaeological evidence for Bronze Age settlement patterns and mortuary practices in the Devon landscape.
