A bowl barrow and a bell barrow 600m SSE of Shalcombe Manor is part of a Bronze Age round barrow cemetery located on Pay Down in Hampshire. The bowl barrow, the simpler of the two monuments, comprises a circular earthwork mound typical of Neolithic and early Bronze Age funerary practice. The bell barrow, distinguished by its characteristic platform or berm surrounding the central mound, represents a more developed form of Bronze Age burial monument, likely dating to the middle Bronze Age period. Together, these barrows form part of a larger ceremonial and burial landscape that demonstrates the importance of this downland location during prehistoric times.
