The site comprises two burial mounds typical of the second millennium BC, representing the ritual and commemorative practices of prehistoric communities in the Wessex region. Round barrows of this period commonly contained inhumations or cremations accompanied by grave goods, and their prominence in the landscape would have served to mark territories and commemorate the deceased.
