Two bowl barrows on Aylesbeare Common, 630m east and 760m east of Brackendale, are a Bronze Age funerary monument located in Devon. Bowl barrows are among the most common burial mounds of the Bronze Age, typically constructed as simple earthen mounds covering cremated or inhumed remains, often accompanied by grave goods. These examples, situated on the open moorland of Aylesbeare Common, represent the survival of prehistoric burial practice on what was evidently a significant ritual or burial landscape. The pair demonstrate the clustering of barrows characteristic of Bronze Age cemetery sites in southwest England, where multiple burial mounds were frequently constructed in proximity to one another over extended periods.
