A pond barrow and a bowl barrow 200 metres south-east of St Mary's Church at Winterbourne Gunner is a Bronze Age funerary monument forming part of a dispersed round barrow cemetery. The two barrows constitute outlying elements of a larger burial landscape, with the pond barrow representing a distinctive barrow type associated with water management and ritual practices. Together with the other barrows in the cemetery, they testify to the Bronze Age use of the Winterbourne Gunner landscape for successive burial and commemorative activity. The site reflects the settlement and territorial patterns characteristic of Wiltshire's Bronze Age communities, when such burial monuments served both funerary and monumental functions within the wider chalk downland environment.
