Two round barrows 520m and 550m north of Lower Chance Farm is a Bronze Age funerary monument located in Berkshire, England. The site comprises two separate burial mounds positioned at measured distances to the north of the farm, representing typical examples of the round barrow tradition that characterised ritual and burial practices across southern Britain during the Bronze Age. Such barrows served as repositories for the cremated or inhumed remains of individuals of sufficient social standing to warrant monumental commemoration, and their distribution across the landscape reflects patterns of settlement and territorial organisation during this period.
