Two bowl barrows on Lord's Down 580m south east of Crawthorne Farm is a pair of Bronze Age burial mounds located in Dorset. These earthworks represent the funerary practices of the early to middle Bronze Age communities in the region, a period during which the construction of burial barrows was a dominant ritual practice across southern Britain. The barrows survive as rounded earthen mounds, characteristic of the bowl barrow form which constitutes one of the most common types of Bronze Age monument in Wessex and beyond. Their survival on Lord's Down contributes to the archaeological record of prehistoric settlement and ritual activity in this part of Dorset.
