Four bowl barrows 920m and 950m south east of Heath Farm is a Bronze Age funerary monument forming part of a dispersed round barrow cemetery within Charterhouse Plantation, Cambridgeshire. The site comprises four distinct bowl-shaped burial mounds, representing the characteristic funerary architecture of the Bronze Age period. These barrows, positioned at intervals across the plantation landscape, are typical of the clustering patterns observed in Cambridgeshire's round barrow cemeteries, where burial monuments were distributed across the contemporary land surface over extended periods.
