Berry Down Cross is a village in Devon, England. The village has two Bronze Age round barrows located within it and both are listed as scheduled monuments by Historic England.
Berry Down Cross is infamous for its A3123 road junction, which gained a reputation for being unsafe. A house that had stood on the bend of the junction since the 1700s was crashed into by cars seventeen times over three years.[1] [2] In 2020, the Department for Transport announced a £2.2 million scheme to improve the safety of the road including a 40mph speed limit and cat's eyes.[3]
