Long barrow and four bowl barrows 500m north west of Whitfield Farm is a Neolithic and Bronze Age funerary monument complex located in Dorset. The site comprises a single long barrow of Neolithic date, characteristic of communal burial practices in the fourth and third millennia before the present, alongside four bowl barrows of Bronze Age origin that represent individual burials from the second millennium before the present. The spatial association of monuments from these two distinct prehistoric periods on the same location suggests a continuity of ritual use across several centuries. The complex survives as earthwork features and forms part of the broader landscape of prehistoric ceremonial and funerary monuments distributed across Dorset's chalk downlands.
