Two bowl barrows at Beacon Hill, 120m south of The Beacon is a Neolithic or Early Bronze Age funerary monument located in Devon. The site consists of two distinct bowl-shaped burial mounds, a common form of sepulchral monument dating from approximately 3000 to 1500 BCE. These earthworks represent the funerary practices of prehistoric communities in the South West, reflecting the ritual and social importance placed upon the interment of the dead during the third and second millennia before the present era. The barrows' survival on Beacon Hill contributes to the archaeological record of Bronze Age settlement and ceremonial activity in the Devon landscape.
