Two bell barrows and a bowl barrow 400m south-west of Oak Tree Farm is a Bronze Age burial monument forming part of the Coombe Beacon round barrow cemetery in Dorset. The three mounds, comprising two bell barrows and one bowl barrow, represent typical funerary structures of the Early to Middle Bronze Age period. Bell barrows are distinguished by their raised central mound surrounded by a ditch and outer bank, while the bowl barrow consists of a simple hemispherical mound. These monuments are significant archaeological remains within a larger cemetery complex and contribute to understanding Bronze Age burial practices and settlement patterns in the Dorset landscape.
