Oval barrow and three bowl barrows 250m and 330m south of Whitcombe Barn is a Bronze Age funerary monument complex located in Dorset, England. The site comprises four separate burial mounds: one oval barrow and three bowl-shaped barrows arranged across the landscape at measured distances from the farmstead. These monuments represent typical funerary practices of the Bronze Age period, when such earthen mounds were constructed to mark the burial places of individuals or communities. The barrows remain visible as earthwork features in the Dorset landscape and form part of the broader pattern of Bronze Age ceremonial and funerary activity in the region.
