Two bowl barrows on Lord's Down 580 metres south-east of Crawthorne Farm is a Neolithic or Early Bronze Age funerary monument located in Dorset. The two barrows are characteristic examples of bowl barrow construction, the most common form of round barrow found in southern England, with low earthen mounds raised over burial deposits. Dating to the period between approximately 3500 and 1500 BC, these monuments represent the ritual and commemorative practices of prehistoric communities in the region. The site's survival on Lord's Down demonstrates the concentration of barrow cemeteries across the Dorset landscape, which collectively provide significant evidence for Bronze Age settlement patterns and burial customs.
