Two bowl barrows 380m north east of Straight Walk Plantation is a pair of Bronze Age funerary monuments forming part of a larger barrow group situated south of Hampshire Gap in Wiltshire. The barrows are representative of the round barrow tradition characteristic of the second millennium BCE, when such earthen mounds were constructed to mark the burial places of individuals of status within their communities. Located within a landscape rich in prehistoric monuments, these barrows contribute to the archaeological record of Neolithic and Bronze Age settlement and burial practices in the Salisbury Plain region. The site is protected as a scheduled ancient monument under the national heritage designation system.
