Two bowl barrows to the north west of Roncombe Gate Farm is a Bronze Age funerary monument forming part of a dispersed barrow group situated on Farway Hill in Devon. The barrows are characteristic examples of bowl-form burial mounds, the predominant funerary architecture of the Bronze Age, and their positioning within a wider barrow cemetery indicates sustained ritual use of this upland location during the second millennium before the present era. The site's survival as an archaeological feature demonstrates the dispersed settlement and burial patterns characteristic of Bronze Age communities in the Southwest peninsula, with the barrow group contributing to understanding of prehistoric land use and social organisation across Farway Hill.
