Six bowl barrows 550m south-west of Oak Tree Farm is a part of the Coombe Beacon barrow cemetery located in Dorset, England. These earthworks date to the Bronze Age and represent a significant concentration of funerary monuments within the wider barrow cemetery complex.

Their survival as a coherent group within the Coombe Beacon cemetery demonstrates the sustained use of this hilltop location for burial ritual during the Bronze Age period.
