Group of six round barrows forming part of a Bronze Age cemetery 400m north-east of West Kennett Farm is a Bronze Age funerary monument located in Wiltshire, England. The barrows are part of the wider ritual landscape of the Kennet Valley, where numerous burial mounds of this period cluster in association with earlier Neolithic monuments. Dating to the Bronze Age, these earthworks represent the funerary practices of early prehistoric communities who constructed individual burial mounds, typically covering inhumed or cremated remains along with grave goods. The site contributes to understanding the settlement patterns and ceremonial practices of Bronze Age communities in Wessex, and forms part of a significant concentration of prehistoric monuments around West Kennett, including the Neolithic long barrow and earlier standing stones.
