Two bowl barrows at Two Burrows is a Bronze Age funerary monument situated approximately 500 metres north and 510 metres north-east of Two Burrows Farm in Cornwall. The site comprises two distinct bowl-shaped earthen mounds, characteristic of the Early Bronze Age barrow tradition that flourished across southern Britain during the second millennium BCE. These monuments would have served as burial places for individuals of some social standing within their communities, with their distinctive rounded form distinguishing them from other barrow types. The barrows remain substantially preserved as upstanding archaeological features and are protected as scheduled ancient monuments reflecting the archaeological importance of this Bronze Age burial landscape.
