Two bowl barrows 380m south of Wenham Cottage is a Bronze Age funerary monument forming part of the West Heath Common round barrow cemetery in Sussex. These earthwork barrows, of simple bowl form, represent the burial practices of the early Bronze Age period and contribute to one of Sussex's significant concentrations of prehistoric ceremonial and mortuary monuments. The site sits within a wider landscape of barrow construction spanning the early to middle Bronze Age, reflecting both the ritual importance of the location and the continuity of burial tradition across several centuries. The barrows remain visible as earthwork features within the common, though subject to the gradual erosion processes affecting unenclosed downland monuments.
