Two bowl barrows 320m south west of Laycock Dairy Farm is a Neolithic or Bronze Age funerary monument located in Dorset. The site comprises two circular earthwork mounds characteristic of bowl barrows, which represent one of the principal burial monument types of prehistoric Britain. Bowl barrows typically contained inhumation burials, often accompanied by grave goods, and their distribution across the landscape reflects settlement patterns and territorial organisation during the late third and second millennia before Christ. The monument's survival as an upstanding earthwork demonstrates the persistence of these Bronze Age burial features in the Dorset landscape, where such barrow groups frequently occur as components of wider ceremonial and funerary complexes.
