Two bowl barrows 300m south east of the Club House on Petersfield Heath Common is a Bronze Age funerary monument forming part of the Petersfield Heath Group, a cluster of burial mounds located on the Hampshire chalklands. The barrows are bowl-shaped earthworks typical of Early Bronze Age burial practice, constructed as low mounds of chalk and soil to cover cremated and inhumed remains along with grave goods. Their presence within the broader Petersfield Heath complex indicates the site's significance as a burial landscape during the second millennium BCE, when such barrow groups marked important ritual and territorial spaces in southern England. The monument survives as an upstanding earthwork feature, recognisable within the modern landscape of the common as evidence of prehistoric settlement patterns and funerary custom.
