A pair of bowl barrows forming part of a round barrow cemetery on Allington Down is a Bronze Age funerary monument located in Wiltshire. These earthen mounds are characteristic examples of the burial practices employed during the Bronze Age, a period when such barrow cemeteries served as focal points for ritual activity and the commemoration of the dead across the chalk downlands of southern England. The barrows form part of a larger cemetery complex on the down, indicating sustained use of this landscape for funerary purposes over an extended period. As a scheduled ancient monument, the site remains an important archaeological resource for understanding Bronze Age settlement patterns and burial customs in the Wessex region.
