Three adjoining linear earthworks and three bowl barrows north of Bokerley Dyke on Martin Down is a Bronze Age and later monument complex located in Wiltshire. The three bowl barrows represent funerary monuments of Bronze Age date, constructed as burial mounds for elite individuals or communities. The linear earthworks, which adjoin the barrow group, belong to a later prehistoric or Romano-British tradition of land division and territorial demarcation, characteristics typical of such dyke systems across southern England. The monument sits within the broader landscape context of Martin Down, a chalk upland area rich in prehistoric archaeology and Bronze Age settlement evidence.
