Four bowl barrows 600m east and 650m north east of Haywards Farm is a Neolithic or Early Bronze Age funerary monument located in Dorset. The site comprises four burial mounds of the type commonly distributed across the Dorset landscape during the third and second millennia before Christ, representing an important concentration of funerary activity from this period. Bowl barrows of this kind typically consist of a central burial chamber or grave surrounded by an earthen mound, and their clustering suggests repeated use of the same locality for successive interments across generations. The monument's survival and scheduling as a heritage asset reflects its archaeological significance for understanding prehistoric settlement patterns and mortuary practices in southern England.
