Two bowl barrows 850m south east of Brimble Pit Pool is a Bronze Age funerary monument forming part of a larger barrow cemetery in the Somerset landscape. These earthworks are characteristic of the round barrow tradition prevalent during the Bronze Age, when such structures served as burial mounds for individuals of status within their communities. The barrows are situated within a group of round barrows distributed across the terrain north and east of Foxhills Wood, reflecting the pattern of Bronze Age mortuary practice in the region. As a scheduled ancient monument, the site represents an important archaeological resource for understanding Bronze Age burial customs and settlement patterns in Somerset.
