Two bowl barrows 400m south of Tanhill Penning is a Neolithic or Early Bronze Age funerary monument located in Wiltshire. The site comprises two distinct burial mounds of the characteristic bowl barrow type, which represent one of the most common forms of round barrow construction in southern England during the third and second millennia before Christ. These earthworks would originally have served as conspicuous markers in the landscape, likely containing inhumation or cremation burials with associated grave goods. The monument's survival as an upstanding earthwork demonstrates the persistence of prehistoric burial practices across the Wiltshire downlands, an area particularly rich in barrow monuments from this period.
