The Group of barrows west of Hooklands Plantation is a Bronze Age burial monument located in Wiltshire. The site comprises multiple barrows characteristic of the funerary practices of the second millennium BC, when such earthen mounds were constructed to mark the graves of individuals or small communities. The barrows survive as earthwork remains in the landscape, representing an important element of the prehistoric archaeological record of the Wiltshire downs. Such Bronze Age barrow groups are significant for understanding settlement patterns, social organisation, and burial practices in prehistoric southern England.
