Round Barrows in Dorset.
This pair of barrows are described by English Heritage as a bowl barrow and a possible bell barrow.
Access The area around the Water Barrows is not open to the general public because it is part of the MoD's East Holme range. There are good views over the area from the Flower's Barrow hillfort on the ridgeway to the south.
