Overview

History & significance

Two bowl barrows, known as Crippet's Wood round barrows, are a Scheduled Ancient Monument located approximately 560 and 590 metres north east of Dryhill Farm in Gloucestershire. These Bronze Age burial mounds represent typical examples of round barrow construction from the second millennium before the present, a period when such monuments served as communal or individual burial sites across the British landscape. The barrows are bowl-shaped in form, a characteristic morphology of Bronze Age funerary monuments, though their precise dimensions and current state of preservation are subject to archaeological survey records. Their presence in this location reflects the pattern of Bronze Age settlement and ritual landscape use in the Cotswolds region of England.
