Stumps Cross round barrows is a pair of Bronze Age burial monuments located on high ground north of Upper Coscombe in Gloucestershire. The two bowl barrows, positioned approximately 280 metres and 330 metres north of the settlement, represent typical funerary structures of the Bronze Age period. These earthen mounds would originally have contained inhumation or cremation burials, though their current state of preservation and any artefactual evidence are not fully documented in accessible records. The barrows form part of the broader Bronze Age burial landscape of the Cotswolds region and remain significant as material evidence of prehistoric settlement patterns and mortuary practices in this area.
