Two bowl barrows at Big Wood, 580m south west and 470m south of Moorland Cottage, is a Bronze Age funerary monument situated in Devon. These earthen mounds represent a characteristic form of burial practice during the Bronze Age, when communities constructed individual or small-group burial mounds across the landscape. The barrows reflect the social structure and burial customs of their period, serving as enduring markers of prehistoric settlement and territorial organisation. Both monuments remain visible as archaeological features within the Devon landscape, contributing to the broader distribution pattern of Bronze Age barrows in south-western England.
