This group of Bronze Age burial monuments south-east of The Noads comprises five barrows of two distinct types, reflecting the funerary practices of the second millennium BC. The two bell barrows and two bowl barrows represent variations in construction typical of the period, with bell barrows characterised by a central mound surrounded by a ditch and outer bank, whilst bowl barrows consist of simple dome-shaped mounds. The associated field boundary represents later agricultural use of the landscape, indicating the palimpsestic nature of the site where prehistoric monuments persisted into subsequent periods. The site survives as earthwork remains within the wider pattern of Bronze Age burial distribution across Hampshire's downland.
