A group of six barrows east of Newfoundland Farm Wood is a Bronze Age burial monument located in Wiltshire. The barrows form part of the substantial Bronze Age ceremonial landscape that characterises the Wiltshire downlands, representing the funerary practices and social organisation of prehistoric communities during the second millennium BC. These earthwork monuments, though subject to the erosive effects of subsequent agricultural use and natural processes, retain archaeological significance as evidence of burial activity and settlement patterns in the region. The site is protected as a scheduled ancient monument in recognition of its importance to understanding Bronze Age ritual practice and landscape use in southern England.
