Nine round barrows forming a round barrow cemetery is a Bronze Age burial monument located approximately 400 metres north of the eastern end of The Cursus near Stonehenge in Wiltshire. The cemetery comprises nine distinct burial mounds arranged as a discrete group, representing a significant concentration of funerary activity during the Bronze Age period. Round barrow cemeteries of this type are characteristic features of Bronze Age ritual and settlement landscapes in the Wessex region, indicating repeated use of particular locations for elite and communal burial over successive generations. The proximity of this barrow cemetery to The Cursus, a Neolithic ceremonial monument, suggests the continued ritual importance of this part of the Stonehenge landscape throughout prehistory.
