Two bowl barrows 200m north of Grim's Ditch, near Tidpit Common is a scheduled monument comprising two Bronze Age burial mounds located in Wiltshire. The barrows represent typical funerary monuments of the Bronze Age period, when such earthen mounds were constructed to cover cremated or inhumed remains and served as focal points in the ritual landscape. The site's proximity to Grim's Ditch, a significant linear earthwork, suggests these barrows formed part of a broader pattern of prehistoric land use and ceremonial activity in the area. The monuments survive as earthwork features and retain archaeological potential for understanding Bronze Age mortuary practices and settlement patterns in central Wiltshire.
