The barrows are located between SU 0275 1033 and SU 0275 1053; each is defined by a single circular ditch with diameters ranging from 15.7m to 28.6m. They are part of the extensive barrow cemetery known as the Knowlton Circles Barrow Group. (1-2)

A sub-circular feature on the eastern edge of the Knowlton Barrow Group is faintly suggested as a cropmark on 1990s aerial photographs (1). A ditched sub-circular feature was digitally mapped at this location by the Knowlton Circles Project and this cropmark may correspond with that feature. It measures around 23m in diameter and may represent a Bronze Age barrow. The feature was digitally plotted by the Dorset Stour NMP.
