Two bowl barrows 100m north east of Bowldown Wood is a Neolithic or Bronze Age funerary monument located in Gloucestershire. These earthen mounds represent typical examples of the burial practices employed during the second and third millennia BC, when such barrows served as communal or individual sepulchres for the prehistoric populations of the region. The barrows survive as rounded earthwork features in the landscape, though their original dimensions and any internal structures remain subject to archaeological interpretation. Like many monuments of this class, they constitute important evidence for understanding settlement patterns, social organisation and ceremonial practices in prehistoric Gloucestershire.
