Two bowl barrows 400m south of Summer Down Farm is a Neolithic or Early Bronze Age funerary monument located in Wiltshire. The site comprises two round barrows of the bowl type, which are among the most common Bronze Age burial structures found across southern England. These monuments would originally have been constructed as earthen mounds raised over cremated or inhumed human remains, likely dating to the period between approximately 2500 and 1500 BCE. The barrows form part of the wider archaeological landscape of Wiltshire's chalk downland, an area particularly rich in prehistoric burial monuments that reflect the ritual and social practices of ancient communities.
