Burnt mounds in Woodlands Park, located 540 metres and 640 metres west of The Pavilion in Worcestershire, are a scheduled ancient monument consisting of two distinct mounds composed of fire-reddened stone and charcoal-rich deposits. These features date to the Bronze Age and represent the accumulated waste material from repetitive heating processes, likely associated with activities such as cooking, metalworking, or the production of textiles. The burnt mounds occupy a landscape setting that suggests they were positioned in relation to now-defunct water sources, a characteristic typical of prehistoric burnt mound sites across Britain. Their presence in Woodlands Park contributes to understanding Bronze Age subsistence and craft practices in the West Midlands region.
