Two bowl barrows 85m and 130m south west of Cambrai House is a Bronze Age funerary monument located in Dorset, England. The site comprises two distinct burial mounds characteristic of the Early to Middle Bronze Age period, constructed as earthwork barrows to inter elite or significant individuals within the community. Bowl barrows of this type are among the most common prehistoric burial monuments in Dorset, reflecting intensive use of the landscape for ritual and funerary purposes during the second millennium before Christ. The barrows' positioning in the landscape and their survival as earthwork features contribute to understanding Bronze Age settlement patterns and burial practices in this region of southern England.
