Long barrow and four bowl barrows 500m north west of Whitfield Farm is a Neolithic and Bronze Age burial monument complex located in Dorset. The site comprises a long barrow of Neolithic origin, evidencing communal burial practices of the early farming communities, alongside four bowl barrows of Bronze Age date which represent the individual or family-focused inhumation traditions of the later prehistoric period. The spatial arrangement of these monuments suggests successive phases of use across more than a thousand years of prehistory. The site remains a significant archaeological record of changing funerary practices in southern England during the Neolithic and Bronze Age periods.
