Two bowl barrows 130m south west of sea mark is a Bronze Age round barrow cemetery forming part of the archaeological landscape of Ashey Down in Hampshire. The site comprises two distinct burial mounds of bowl barrow form, characteristic of Bronze Age funerary practice in southern England, dating to the period between approximately 2200 and 700 BCE. Bowl barrows represent one of the most common types of round barrow, distinguished by their simple hemispherical mound constructed over a central burial or cremation deposit. The barrows' survival as earthwork features on Ashey Down contributes to the archaeological understanding of Bronze Age settlement patterns and mortuary customs in the Hampshire region.
