The site comprises two distinct circular earthworks typical of the barrow burial tradition that flourished across southern Britain during the Bronze Age, approximately 2200-700 BC. These monuments represent the material expression of ritual burial practices and social hierarchy during this period, with the bowl barrow form indicating simple earthwork mounds raised over cremated or inhumed remains.
