Overview

History & significance

Two bowl barrows 650m and 410m north west of Hendra Farm is a scheduled ancient monument comprising two Bronze Age burial mounds located in Cornwall. The barrows are typical examples of the bowl barrow form, a funerary monument type characteristic of the Bronze Age period, roughly dating between 2000 and 1000 BC. These structures would have functioned as burial places for individuals or small family groups, with the earthen mounds constructed over primary inhumations or cremations.
