Two bowl barrows and a disc barrow 960m north west and a bowl barrow 880m north west of Crab Farm is a Bronze Age burial monument complex in Dorset. The site comprises four separate barrow monuments arranged across the landscape north west of Crab Farm, including three bowl barrows and one disc barrow, representing distinct burial practices of the Bronze Age period. These earthwork monuments survive as low mounds and platforms in the archaeological landscape, testifying to ritual and mortuary practices in prehistoric Dorset. The dispersed arrangement of these barrows reflects the pattern of Bronze Age burial distribution characteristic of Dorset's chalk downlands.
