Two bowl barrows 720m south east of Friar Waddon House is a Neolithic or Bronze Age funerary monument located in Dorset. Bowl barrows represent one of the most common forms of prehistoric burial mound found across southern England, typically consisting of an earthen mound covering inhumed or cremated remains and often surrounded by a ditch. These two examples form part of the substantial archaeological landscape of Dorset's chalk downlands, where such barrow groups frequently cluster together. The site's survival and scheduling as an ancient monument reflects the importance of these structures in understanding prehistoric settlement, burial practice, and landscape organisation in Wessex during the second and third millennia BC.
