Two bowl barrows 400m west of Easton Down Farm is a Bronze Age funerary monument located in Wiltshire, forming part of a larger barrow group situated south of Easton Down. The site comprises two earthen mounds of characteristic bowl barrow form, a common burial structure of the Bronze Age period. These monuments are typical of the ritual and funerary practices prevalent across the Wiltshire downlands during the second millennium BC, when such individual and clustered burial mounds marked the resting places of the prehistoric dead. The barrows' preservation within a broader landscape of similar monuments reflects the archaeological significance of this region for understanding Bronze Age settlement patterns and burial customs.
