Two round barrows 300m south of Normanton Down round barrow cemetery is a Bronze Age burial monument located in Wiltshire, comprising two separate earthen mounds situated in the landscape south of the main Normanton Down barrow cemetery. These round barrows represent funerary structures typical of the Bronze Age period, when such burial mounds served as prominent markers for elite or high-status individuals within their communities. The barrows form part of the concentrated distribution of burial monuments in this region of Salisbury Plain, which reflects the ritual and settlement importance of the area during the second millennium before Christ.
