Bincombe Bumps

Over 2,000 barrows are known in Dorset, and there is a major concentration along the South Dorset Ridgeway where over 400 are still visible. The burial mounds in the photo are known as the Bincombe Bumps. They belong to the Bronze Age, approximately 2400-700 BC, though these probably originated between c.1700BC and c.1000BC.
