Two bowl barrows 270m south of Oakhanger Road is a Neolithic or Early Bronze Age funerary monument located in Hampshire, England. The site consists of two earthen burial mounds of the type characteristic of the third and second millennia before Christ, when such structures served as prominent markers in the landscape and repositories for the dead. Bowl barrows of this period typically comprised a central burial chamber or grave beneath a low, rounded mound of earth and chalk, often surrounded by a ditch from which material was extracted during construction. This particular monument survives as part of the archaeological heritage of the New Forest area, preserving evidence of prehistoric burial practice and settlement patterns in southern England.
