Two round barrows on Cheriton Ridge is a Neolithic and Bronze Age funerary monument located in Devon, England. The site consists of two burial mounds positioned on elevated terrain, typical of prehistoric ritual landscapes where barrows were sited to command views across the surrounding countryside. The barrows date from the Bronze Age period when such monumental earthworks served as communal or elite burial monuments, though earlier Neolithic activity cannot be excluded. The monument survives as an archaeological record of prehistoric funerary practice and settlement patterns in Devon.
