Oval barrow and three bowl barrows 250m and 330m south of Whitcombe Barn is a group of Bronze Age burial monuments located in Dorset, England. The site comprises four earthwork barrows of differing morphology, with the oval barrow and three associated bowl barrows representing typical funerary structures of the Bronze Age period.
