Bowl barrow and pond barrow 880 metres south-east of Kingston Russell Farm is a pair of Bronze Age burial monuments forming part of the Black Down barrow cemetery near Dorset's Askerswell parish. The site comprises two distinct earthwork types: a bowl barrow, the most common form of round barrow, and an associated pond barrow, a less frequent variant characterised by a depression or pond occupying the interior. Both monuments exemplify the funerary practices of the early to middle Bronze Age, when such tumuli served as focal points for community burial and commemoration. The paired arrangement and their preservation within the larger barrow cemetery demonstrates the ritual significance of this landscape during prehistory.
