The two bowl barrows located near Tor View at Middle Taphouse are a Bronze Age monument in Cornwall, consisting of two distinct circular burial mounds positioned approximately 70 metres north west and 50 metres south east of the named reference point. Bowl barrows of this type are characteristic funerary monuments of the Bronze Age, typically constructed as simple earthen mounds raised over cremated or inhumed burials, and frequently occur in clusters across the Cornish landscape reflecting patterns of prehistoric settlement and territorial organisation. The survival of these two examples demonstrates the archaeological importance of the Middle Taphouse locality as a focus of Bronze Age funerary activity.
