A pair of bowl barrows 1050m NNW of Pertwood Wood is a Neolithic or Bronze Age burial monument located in Wiltshire. Bowl barrows represent one of the most common forms of round barrow, characterised by a simple domed or hemispherical mound of earth and chalk with a surrounding ditch. The monument group reflects the prehistoric funerary practices of southern England, where such barrows served as burial places for high-status individuals and were frequently constructed during the Bronze Age, though some examples may date to the earlier Neolithic period. The site remains an important archaeological record of ritual landscape organisation and settlement patterns in prehistoric Wiltshire.
