Two bowl barrows 310m north east of Lancombe Farm is a Neolithic or Early Bronze Age funerary monument located in Dorset. Bowl barrows of this period typically comprised earthen mounds raised over cremated or inhumed remains, often accompanied by grave goods, and represent significant investments in commemorating the dead. The two barrows at this location form part of the broader Bronze Age funerary landscape of Dorset, an area particularly rich in such monuments. Their survival to the present day, despite millennia of agricultural activity, testifies to their original construction as substantial earthworks.
