Bowl barrow and pond barrow 880m south east of Kingston Russell Farm is a Neolithic and Bronze Age funerary monument forming part of the Black Down barrow cemetery in Dorset. The site comprises two distinct earthwork forms: a bowl barrow, characterised by its simple circular mound, and a pond barrow, identified by its central depression or pond feature surrounded by an outer bank. These monuments date to the later Neolithic period through to the Bronze Age, representing successive phases of burial practice and ritual activity across several centuries. The barrows remain visible as earthworks within the landscape and form part of the larger ceremonial and burial complex documented at Black Down, which preserves evidence of sustained ritual use of this upland location.
