Two disc barrows and two bowl barrows 900m north of Moll Harris's Clump on Idmiston Down is a Bronze Age funerary monument complex located on the chalk downland of Wiltshire. The site comprises four barrows of contrasting forms: the pair of disc barrows represent a distinctive Bronze Age burial type characterised by a central burial mound surrounded by a ditch and outer bank, whilst the two bowl barrows are more conventional hemispherical mounds typical of earlier Bronze Age practice. The monument group forms part of the extensive Neolithic and Bronze Age ritual landscape that characterises Idmiston Down, where numerous burial monuments cluster across the elevated terrain. The barrows are preserved as earthwork features and remain significant archaeological evidence for Bronze Age mortuary practice and settlement patterns in the Wessex region.
