Pair of bowl barrows 150m north of the Wansdyke on All Cannings Down is a Neolithic or Early Bronze Age funerary monument located on the chalk downland of Wiltshire. The two barrows are situated north of the linear earthwork known as the Wansdyke, a substantial defensive or boundary bank that dates to the Late Saxon period. Bowl barrows are among the most common round barrow types, consisting of a mound of chalk and soil raised over a burial or burials, and typically measure between 20 and 40 metres in diameter. This pair represents the broader pattern of prehistoric burial activity across the Wessex downlands, where such monuments cluster along ridge-top locations and remain significant archaeological features despite subsequent medieval and later agricultural disturbance.
