A pair of bowl barrows 350m NNE of Whitnell Corner is a Bronze Age funerary monument located in Somerset, England. Bowl barrows are among the most common burial mounds of the Bronze Age, typically consisting of a central burial chamber surrounded by a mound of earth and stone. This example represents the prehistoric funerary practices characteristic of the second millennium BCE, when such monuments served as repositories for the cremated or inhumed remains of significant individuals within early Bronze Age societies.
