Two bowl barrows 480m north east of Leworthy Cross, Bratton Down is a Neolithic or Bronze Age funerary monument consisting of two earthen mounds located on Bratton Down in Devon. Bowl barrows of this type typically date from the Bronze Age and represent individual or family burial sites, constructed as simple hemispherical mounds of earth and stone. The monument's survival on Bratton Down, an area rich in prehistoric remains, reflects the significant ritual and burial landscape established across Dartmoor's periphery during the second and early third millennia before Christ.
