The Group of round barrows 750m north west of Ivy Cottage is a prehistoric burial monument located in Somerset, England. The site comprises multiple round barrows dating to the Bronze Age, representing a typical funerary landscape of the second and first millennia before Christ. Round barrows of this period served as burial mounds for individuals of social standing within their communities, often constructed from earth and stone and frequently containing inhumation or cremation deposits. The grouping of barrows in close proximity suggests a sustained use of this location as a burial ground across generations, reflecting patterns of territorial identity and ancestral commemoration characteristic of Bronze Age societies.
