Two bowl barrows 300m SW of Spring Farm is a Neolithic or Early Bronze Age funerary monument located in Dorset. The site comprises two bowl barrows, which are characteristic mound structures of this period, typically constructed over individual burials or small groups of interments. Bowl barrows represent some of the earliest substantial earthworks raised for ceremonial and funerary purposes in southern England, reflecting the ritual practices and social organisation of prehistoric communities. The monument's survival as an upstanding earthwork demonstrates the archaeological value of barrow cemeteries in understanding settlement patterns and burial customs across the Neolithic and Bronze Age periods in this region.
