The bowl barrow and disc barrow 730 metres south of Kingston Russell Farm form part of a Bronze Age round barrow cemetery situated on the south western slopes of Black Down in Dorset. These monuments are characteristic examples of funerary architecture from the later Neolithic and Bronze Age periods, with the bowl barrow representing a common burial mound form and the disc barrow displaying the distinctive shallow platform and internal ditch characteristic of this barrow type. The cemetery as a whole reflects the sustained use of this prominent landscape location for elite burial practices over several centuries during prehistory.
