A pair of bowl barrows 150m north of the Wansdyke on All Cannings Down is a Bronze Age funerary monument located in Wiltshire. The barrows are positioned on the chalk downland north of the Wansdyke, a linear earthwork of Iron Age date that lies to their south. These burial mounds represent typical Bronze Age mortuary practice in the Wessex landscape, a period when such monumental interments were concentrated on high ground and ridgeways. The earthworks survive as discernible topographical features within the broader archaeological complex of All Cannings Down.
