Bincombe Bumps
Known locally as the Bincombe Bumps, these round barrows (tumuli) date from the Bronze Age. Even with archaeological finds, such tumuli are difficult to date exactly. However, in Britain most of these burial mounds are thought to have originated between c.1700 B.C. and c.1000 B.C. There are several dozen in this immediate vicinity. In fact in the general area of Dorset, there are a couple of thousand barrows of different styles that are still visible to a greater or lesser degree.
