Two bowl barrows 400m south of Summer Down Farm is a Neolithic or Bronze Age funerary monument located in Wiltshire. The site consists of two circular burial mounds of the bowl barrow type, a common form of prehistoric sepulchral monument found across southern England dating predominantly to the Bronze Age period. Bowl barrows are characterised by their simple hemispherical or dome-shaped earthwork construction, typically raised over a central burial or cremation deposit. This example represents the considerable density of such monuments in the Wiltshire landscape, where barrow cemeteries and scattered examples document the funerary practices and settlement patterns of prehistoric communities over several millennia.
