Two round barrows 100m NE of Itchen Abbas Roman Villa is a Bronze Age monument situated in Hampshire near the Romano-British settlement of Itchen Abbas. The barrows represent funerary structures typical of the second millennium before the present era, when such earthworks served as burial monuments for members of prehistoric communities. Their proximity to the later Roman villa indicates the long continuity of human activity and settlement in this landscape, with Bronze Age usage preceding the Roman occupation by over a thousand years. The barrows survive as earthwork features within the wider archaeological context of the Itchen Abbas site complex.
