Two bell barrows and a bowl barrow 370m east of Clover Farm is a Bronze Age funerary monument comprising three round barrows located near Cranmore railway station in Somerset. The group consists of two bell barrows, distinguished by their characteristic bell-shaped profile with a flat central platform surrounded by a ditch, and one bowl barrow, which exhibits a simpler hemispherical form. These monuments, part of a larger barrow cemetery in the area, date to the Bronze Age and represent important evidence of burial practices and settlement patterns in the Somerset Levels during the second and early first millennia before Christ. The survival of multiple barrows in close proximity provides significant archaeological value for understanding prehistoric funerary ritual and social organisation in southwest England.
