Two bowl barrows to the north west of Roncombe Gate Farm is a pair of Neolithic or Bronze Age burial mounds forming part of a dispersed barrow cemetery on Farway Hill in Devon. The monuments are typical of the bowl barrow form, consisting of earth mounds raised over cremated or inhumed remains, characteristic of funerary practices during the third and second millennia before the common era. Their location within a larger barrow group demonstrates the significance of Farway Hill as a focus for burial activity across an extended period, reflecting patterns of landscape use and ritual practice common to upland areas of south-western England during prehistory. The site is recorded on the National Heritage List for England as part of the archaeological resource documenting Bronze Age and earlier communities in the region.
