Two bowl barrows on Woodbury Common, 640m and 625m east of Four Firs, is a Bronze Age funerary monument in Devon. These earthworks represent typical examples of bowl barrow construction, circular mounds raised over cremated or inhumed remains, dating to the Bronze Age period when such monuments were widely erected across southern England. The barrows are situated within the Bronze Age landscape of Woodbury Common, an area rich in prehistoric archaeological features. Their survival as distinct earthworks demonstrates the persistence of these ritual monuments across millennia, though their precise dating and associated finds remain dependent on archaeological investigation and existing records held by the Portable Antiquities Scheme and Devon County Council's heritage database.
