Two bowl barrows on North Molton Ridge 620m and 720m west of Twitchen Ball Corner is a Bronze Age funerary monument comprising two distinct burial mounds located on elevated moorland in Devon. The barrows represent typical examples of the bowl barrow form, the most common burial monument type constructed during the Bronze Age in South West England. Their positioning on North Molton Ridge reflects the prehistoric practice of situating burial cairns and barrows on prominent topographical features, making them visible landmarks within the landscape.
