Two bell barrows and a bowl barrow forming part of a round barrow cemetery adjacent to the Devizes to Beckhampton road on North Down is a Bronze Age burial monument located in Wiltshire. The site comprises three distinct barrow types characteristic of Wessex funerary practice, with the bell barrows distinguished by their steep-sided ditched mounds and surrounding berms, whilst the bowl barrow represents a simpler domed earthwork. These monuments date to the second millennium BC and form part of a larger cemetery associated with the important prehistoric landscape of the Marlborough Downs. The barrows survive as upstanding earthworks and contribute significantly to the archaeological understanding of Bronze Age burial practices and settlement patterns in this region.
