Four bowl barrows 150m north east of Seven Barrows Farm is a Neolithic or Early Bronze Age funerary monument located in Dorset. The site consists of four round barrows of the bowl type, a common sepulchral form constructed during the third and second millennia BCE. Bowl barrows were created by heaping earth and chalk over burial deposits, often accompanied by grave goods reflecting the status and material culture of the interred individuals. This group of barrows represents a concentrated burial landscape characteristic of later prehistoric settlement patterns in southern England, where such cemetery clusters mark the repeated use of particular locations for funerary practice across generations.
