A pair of round barrows forming part of the Bronze Age round barrow cemetery 400m north-east of West Kennett Farm is a Bronze Age burial monument located in Wiltshire. The two mounds are components of a larger barrow cemetery that represents sustained funerary practice during the Bronze Age, a period characterised by the construction of individual and clustered burial mounds across southern England. Such cemeteries typically accumulated over several centuries as successive generations interred their dead in proximity to earlier burials, indicating ongoing use of particular landscape locations for mortuary purposes. The barrows exemplify the monumental expression of Bronze Age burial ritual and social organisation in the Kennet valley landscape.
