Two bowl barrows on Woodbury Common is a scheduled ancient monument consisting of two Bronze Age burial mounds located 330 metres east of Four Firs in Devon. These earthworks are characteristic examples of the round barrow tradition that flourished during the Bronze Age, serving as communal or individual burial monuments for the prehistoric populations of south-western England. The barrows retain their distinctive bowl-shaped form, which would have been created by the heaping of earth and stone over a central burial deposit, and their preservation on Woodbury Common testifies to the archaeological richness of the Devon landscape. The site is designated as a heritage asset of national importance, reflecting the Bronze Age occupation and ceremonial practices of the region.
