Five bowl barrows 500m north west of Cuckoo Cleeves is a Bronze Age burial monument forming part of the Stock Hill round barrow cemetery in Somerset. The site comprises five distinct bowl barrows, the simplest and most common form of round barrow, which would have functioned as burial mounds for individuals of status within prehistoric communities. These monuments are characteristic of Bronze Age funerary practice in south-west England, typically dating to the second millennium BC. The barrows' survival as earthwork features within the wider cemetery landscape demonstrates the importance of this location as a focus for successive generations of burials during the Bronze Age period.
