Two Round Barrows NE of Harpton Court is a pair of Bronze Age burial mounds situated in Radnorshire, Wales. These round barrows represent the funerary practices of prehistoric communities during the Bronze Age period and would have functioned as monuments marking the graves of individuals or small family groups of elevated status. The barrows are characteristic examples of the round barrow tradition that became prevalent across Britain during this era, serving both as burial structures and as visible territorial or commemorative markers within the landscape. Their survival into the modern period, despite agricultural use of the surrounding land, makes them significant archaeological evidence for understanding prehistoric settlement patterns and mortuary customs in mid-Wales.
