Two bowl barrows 450m and 520m north east of Sandymoor Cross is a prehistoric funerary monument forming part of a round barrow cemetery in Devon. These earthen mounds date to the Bronze Age and represent characteristic burial practices of the second and early first millennia before Christ. The barrows are simple in form, consisting of hemispherical or bowl-shaped mounds constructed over grave deposits, a type widespread across south-western England during this period. Their survival as part of a discernible cemetery group indicates the sustained use of this location as a burial ground and contributes to understanding Bronze Age settlement and ritual patterns in the region.
