Bowl barrow and disc barrow 730m south of Kingston Russell Farm is a Bronze Age funerary monument forming part of an extensive round barrow cemetery on the south western slopes of Black Down in Dorset. The site comprises two distinct barrow types: a bowl barrow, representing the earliest round barrow form, and a disc barrow, characterized by a central mound surrounded by a ditch and outer bank. These monuments date to the Bronze Age and reflect the burial practices of the period, when such earthworks served as prominent landscape markers for individual or family burials. The barrow cemetery of which they form part demonstrates the significance of Black Down as a focus for prehistoric burial activity and settlement in the region.
