Two bowl barrows 570m south west of Polkerth is a Bronze Age monument forming part of an extensive round barrow cemetery on Goonhilly Downs in Cornwall. These burial mounds are characteristic examples of the Bronze Age funerary tradition, dating to the second millennium BC, and represent one of the numerous barrow groups that proliferated across the Cornish landscape during this period. The barrows maintain the typical hemispherical form associated with bowl barrows, distinguishable from other round barrow types by their simple, unadorned mounding. Their location within the larger cemetery complex on Goonhilly Downs reflects the significance of the moorland as a focus for Bronze Age burial activity and ceremonial practice.
