Two bowl barrows c.280m north-east of Chaldon Herring is a Neolithic or Bronze Age burial monument forming part of a larger barrow cemetery in the parish of Chaldon Herring, Dorset. The monument comprises two circular earthen mounds of characteristic bowl barrow form, which represent the funerary practices of prehistoric communities occupying the Dorset downlands. The barrow group of which these monuments form a part demonstrates the significance of this locality as a burial ground over successive periods of prehistory.
