Two bowl barrows on Black Down immediately east of the Hardy Monument is a Neolithic or Bronze Age burial monument located on the Dorset uplands. The pair of burial mounds are positioned in close proximity to the Hardy Monument, a later napoleonic tower that occupies the same ridge-top location. These earthwork barrows represent the funerary practice of mound burial characteristic of prehistoric communities in southern England during the third and second millennia before the common era. The monuments form part of a wider landscape of prehistoric activity across the Black Down area, which contains numerous burial and ceremonial structures from these early periods.
