Overview

History & significance

Two bowl barrows 300m south west of Rollestone Camp is a Bronze Age funerary monument located in Wiltshire. The barrows comprise two round burial mounds characteristic of the Early Bronze Age period, roughly 2200–1500 BCE. Bowl barrows represent one of the most common forms of Bronze Age sepulchral architecture in southern England, typically constructed as earthen tumuli covering cremated or inhumed remains. The pair's proximity to Rollestone Camp, a Neolithic causewayed enclosure, situates them within a landscape rich in prehistoric activity, though the barrows themselves postdate the earlier enclosure by considerable time.
