A pair of confluent bowl barrows 200m SSW of Bockett's Corner on Leigh Hale Plain is a Bronze Age funerary monument located in Oxfordshire. The two barrows, which share a common perimeter, represent a typical form of Neolithic and Bronze Age burial practice in southern England, wherein successive generations were interred beneath earthen mounds. The site survives as a scheduled ancient monument, preserving evidence of prehistoric mortuary behaviour and settlement patterns on the Oxfordshire chalk downlands. Such confluent barrow groupings reflect the ritual and social significance of particular landscape locations during the Bronze Age period.
