Two bowl barrows 400m south of Whitecomb Plantation is a Neolithic or Bronze Age funerary monument located in Wiltshire. These earthen mounds represent a common form of burial monument constructed during the prehistoric period, with bowl barrows typically comprising a circular mound of earth and stone heaped over an inhumed or cremated burial. The two examples at this location form part of the extensive barrow landscape characteristic of the Wiltshire chalk downs, an area rich in prehistoric monumental remains. Their survival into the modern period makes them valuable evidence for understanding prehistoric burial practices and settlement patterns in this region.
