Two bowl barrows on Broadbury, located 140 metres and 230 metres south of Oakfield in Devon, are Bronze Age burial monuments. Bowl barrows represent one of the most common forms of round barrow, characterised by a simple hemispherical or bowl-shaped mound of earth and stone constructed over one or more inhumation burials. These examples, situated on Broadbury, are part of the wider Bronze Age funerary landscape of Devon and demonstrate the distribution of such monuments across the region during the second millennium BCE. Their survival and designation as scheduled ancient monuments reflect their archaeological significance as evidence of Bronze Age mortuary practices and settlement patterns in southwest England.
