Two bowl barrows, 530m and 670m north east of Plantation Cottage, is a Bronze Age funerary monument located in Somerset, England. Bowl barrows are among the most common burial mounds of the Bronze Age, typically constructed as simple earthen mounds raised over inhumed or cremated remains, often accompanied by grave goods. These two examples represent the dispersed pattern of Bronze Age burial activity characteristic of the Somerset landscape during the second millennium BC. The monuments survive as earthwork features within the archaeological record and are protected as scheduled ancient monuments due to their significance as evidence of Bronze Age mortuary practice and settlement patterns in the region.
