A pair of bowl barrows in Clowes Wood is a Neolithic or Early Bronze Age funerary monument located in Kent, England. Bowl barrows represent one of the most common forms of prehistoric burial mound in Britain, typically consisting of a central burial chamber surrounded by a circular earthen mound with a ditch. The two examples at Clowes Wood form part of the scattered distribution of such monuments across the Kentish landscape, reflecting patterns of prehistoric settlement and burial practice in south-eastern England. These barrows are of archaeological significance as evidence of ritual and mortuary behaviour during the later prehistoric period, though their precise dating and original dimensions have been subject to modification and weathering over millennia.
