Two Barrows

Grid ref: SX 7064 7921

Two Barrows are Bronze Age burial mounds that rise from Dartmoor's open moorland, their earthen forms worn smooth by millennia of wind and weather. Standing here, you're looking at monuments raised when Dartmoor was busier with people than it is today — evidence of communities who chose this high ground for their dead.

The site rewards a visit for more than archaeology alone. The exposed position offers wide views across the moor, and the barrows themselves anchor you to the landscape's deep past. This is Dartmoor as a palimpsest: ancient, austere, and indifferent to the centuries that have passed since these mounds were raised.
