Two bowl barrows 400m west of Easton Down Farm is a Bronze Age funerary monument forming part of a larger barrow cemetery situated south of Easton Down in Wiltshire. The two barrows are representative of the round barrow tradition, which was the dominant burial practice across southern England during the Bronze Age, typically dating to the period between approximately 2200 and 700 BCE. As components of a dispersed group of round barrows in this locality, they contribute to the archaeological evidence for prehistoric settlement and land use patterns in the Wiltshire downlands. The monuments are of significance for understanding Bronze Age burial practices and the distribution of funerary monuments across the chalk uplands of central southern England.
