The pair of round barrows forming part of the Bronze Age round barrow cemetery 400m north-east of West Kennett Farm is a scheduled ancient monument in Wiltshire, England, dating to the Bronze Age. These earthworks represent funerary monuments typical of the second millennium BC, when round barrows served as burial mounds for high-status individuals within Bronze Age communities. The barrows form part of a larger ceremonial landscape in the Kennet Valley, an area rich in prehistoric monuments including nearby West Kennett Long Barrow and other contemporary burial sites. The survival of these monuments as earthworks provides important archaeological evidence for Bronze Age settlement patterns, mortuary practices, and the ritual significance of the Wiltshire chalk downlands during this period.
