Two bowl barrows 660m south west of Whitehill Cottage is a Bronze Age monument forming part of a round barrow cemetery in Cornwall, England. Bowl barrows, the simplest and most common form of round barrow, typically consist of a circular earthen mound raised over a burial deposit, and these examples represent the funerary practices of Bronze Age communities in the region. The site's designation as part of a larger cemetery indicates a focal point for burial activity during the prehistoric period, suggesting sustained use of the landscape for ritual and mortuary purposes. Such barrow cemeteries are important archaeological resources for understanding Bronze Age settlement patterns, social organisation, and religious beliefs in south-west England.
