Long barrow and two bowl barrows 140m north west of Dormy House is a Neolithic and Bronze Age funerary monument complex located in Dorset. The site comprises a long barrow, characteristic of Neolithic burial practice dating to approximately 4000–3000 BCE, alongside two later bowl barrows of Bronze Age date. Long barrows typically contained communal burial chambers and served as territorial and ritual markers for early farming communities, whilst the bowl barrows represent the individual or small-group inhumation practices of the Bronze Age. The monument survives as an upstanding archaeological feature and remains a significant record of prehistoric mortuary custom and landscape use across two distinct periods of prehistory.
