Two bowl barrows 600m and 750m west of Wrangworthy cross is a Bronze Age funerary monument forming part of a larger round barrow cemetery on Dartmoor in Devon. The two barrows are simple bowl-shaped earthworks characteristic of Bronze Age burial practices, likely dating to the second millennium before Christ. Their positioning within a barrow cemetery indicates this was a significant ritual and burial landscape during prehistory, reflecting the importance of the location for successive generations of Bronze Age communities. The surviving earthworks preserve evidence of early funerary traditions and demonstrate the development and use of barrow cemeteries across Dartmoor during the Bronze Age.
