Two bowl barrows 600m and 750m west of Wrangworthy cross is a Bronze Age burial monument in Devon, England, forming part of a larger round barrow cemetery in the locality. Bowl barrows represent the simplest form of round barrow, consisting of a central burial chamber surrounded by an earthen mound with a defining ditch. These particular examples belong to the Bronze Age period, when such funerary monuments were constructed across the Devon uplands as burial places for the dead, often accompanied by grave goods. Their survival as part of a barrow cemetery preserves evidence of prehistoric settlement patterns and ritual practices on Dartmoor and its surrounding landscape.
