A pair of bowl barrows forming part of a linear round barrow cemetery, and a hlaew on Rookery Hill is a Bronze Age funerary monument complex located in Sussex, England. The site comprises two bowl barrows integrated into a linear arrangement of round barrows, a characteristic burial practice of the Bronze Age, together with a hlaew, an Anglo-Saxon burial mound, indicating later use and ritual significance at this prominent location. The monument demonstrates the longstanding importance of Rookery Hill as a focal point for burial practices across distinct periods, from the Bronze Age through the Anglo-Saxon period. Such linear barrow cemeteries reflect the social organisation and territorial marking of Bronze Age communities, whilst the subsequent Anglo-Saxon addition indicates the continued ceremonial significance of the site in the early medieval landscape.
