Two conjoined bowl barrows 190m south of Rews Cross is a Neolithic or Early Bronze Age funerary monument located in Devon. The site comprises two circular earthen mounds joined together, a form characteristic of barrow construction during the prehistoric period when such monuments served as burial chambers for individuals or small groups. Bowl barrows of this type, distinguished by their simple hemispherical shape, represent one of the most common funerary structures erected across southern Britain during the Bronze Age and earlier periods. The conjoined arrangement of these two mounds suggests either contemporary construction as a paired burial monument or sequential additions reflecting continuing ritual use of the location.
