Two bowl barrows 400m south-west of Oak Tree Farm is a Bronze Age burial monument forming part of the Coombe Beacon barrow cemetery in Dorset. The barrows are typical examples of the bowl barrow form, simple mound structures raised over inhumation or cremation burials, which were widely constructed during the Bronze Age across southern England. As components of a larger cemetery grouping, these monuments testify to sustained ritual use of the landscape during the Bronze Age period and represent the funerary practices and territorial organisation of prehistoric communities in the region. The site remains visible as earthwork features and is recorded as a scheduled ancient monument under the National Heritage List for England.
