Four bowl barrows 70m east of Seven Barrows Farm is a Bronze Age funerary monument located in Dorset, England. The site comprises four round burial mounds characteristic of the Bronze Age barrow tradition, constructed during the second millennium BCE to serve as repositories for the cremated or inhumed remains of individuals of likely social prominence. Bowl barrows of this type represent one of the most common forms of sepulchral monument from the Bronze Age period and typically measure between 6 and 20 metres in diameter with modest earthen mounds. The grouping of multiple barrows in close proximity suggests a family or community burial ground and demonstrates patterns of ritual funerary practice common to Bronze Age societies in southern England.
