Two bowl barrows 680m north of Upper Herdswick Farm, Barbury Down is a Neolithic or Early Bronze Age funerary monument located on Barbury Down in Wiltshire. The site comprises two distinct bowl barrows, characteristic earthen mounds constructed to cover burial deposits, typical of the period spanning the late third and early second millennia before the present era. These barrows represent an important element of the prehistoric ritual landscape of the Wiltshire Downs, an area particularly rich in such monuments.
