Stumps Cross round barrows is a pair of Bronze Age funerary monuments located in Gloucestershire, approximately 280 metres and 330 metres north of Upper Coscombe. The two bowl barrows represent characteristic burial structures of the Bronze Age period, constructed as earthen mounds raised over cremated or inhumed remains. Their survival to the present day, despite the intensive agricultural use of the surrounding landscape, testifies to their substantial original construction and the continuity of local land use patterns across millennia. The barrows' proximity to one another suggests they may have formed part of a larger Bronze Age burial field serving a dispersed community in this region of the Severn Vale.
