Two bowl barrows 535m ENE of Fairy Cross is a Bronze Age ceremonial monument forming part of a round barrow cemetery in Cornwall. The site comprises two distinct bowl barrows, the most common and simplest form of round barrow, constructed during the Bronze Age period when such earthworks served as burial monuments for the deceased. As components of a larger barrow cemetery, these two examples testify to sustained funerary practice and the ritual landscape of Bronze Age communities in this region of Cornwall. The preservation of the barrows within a defined cemetery demonstrates the archaeological significance of the site as evidence for prehistoric burial traditions and settlement patterns.
