Two cairns, 780m ESE of Triscombe Farm is an ancient funerary monument consisting of two stone cairns located on the high moorland of the Brendon Hills in Somerset. The cairns date to the Bronze Age and represent the burial practices of early British communities during the second millennium BCE. These monuments survive as earthen and stony mounds and form part of the wider Bronze Age ceremonial landscape characteristic of upland regions in south-west England, where such cairn groups typically mark the graves of individuals of social significance within prehistoric communities.
