Four round barrows on The Allotment, 520m south-east of Spire Cross, is a Bronze Age funerary monument located in Somerset, England. The site comprises four distinct round barrows, earthwork structures typical of burial practices during the Bronze Age, when such mounds were constructed to inter the deceased and serve as prominent landscape markers. The barrows remain visible as raised circular mounds across the allotment, representing an important cluster of prehistoric funerary remains. These monuments form part of the broader pattern of Bronze Age burial activity across the Somerset landscape and are protected as a scheduled ancient monument under national heritage legislation.
