Two bowl barrows 550m north of Challacombe Cross is a Bronze Age funerary monument forming part of a round barrow cemetery on Horridge Moor in Devon. The site consists of two burial mounds of the characteristic bowl barrow form, low circular earthworks typical of Bronze Age mortuary practice across southern England. The barrow cemetery of which these monuments form part represents an important cluster of funerary remains dating to the second millennium BC, reflecting patterns of settlement and territorial organisation on Exmoor during the Bronze Age. These monuments are evidence of sustained ritual and burial practice in the upland landscape of northern Devon during prehistory.
