A pair of bowl barrows 420m south of Overhill Lodge is a prehistoric funerary monument forming part of The Lord's Burghs linear barrow group in Sussex, England. These Bronze Age earthworks consist of two round burial mounds that once contained interred remains and grave goods typical of early Bronze Age ritual practice. As components of the larger barrow cemetery, they represent the systematic deposition of elite or significant individuals across the landscape during the second millennium before Christ. The site's survival and scheduling as a nationally important monument reflects its archaeological value in understanding Bronze Age settlement patterns and mortuary practice in the South Downs region.
