The two bowl barrows 250 metres north of The Cursus are Neolithic or Early Bronze Age burial monuments situated in the Stonehenge landscape of Wiltshire. These earthwork barrows, characteristic of funerary practice during the third and second millennia before the Common Era, form part of the dense concentration of ritual and burial monuments that define this archaeologically significant region. Their proximity to The Cursus, a Neolithic linear monument, suggests that this area maintained ceremonial importance across successive prehistoric periods. The barrows survive as low earthwork mounds, preserving evidence of the burial practices and landscape use of early prehistoric communities in southern England.
