Two bowl barrows 500m south of Fearnhill School is a Neolithic or Early Bronze Age funerary monument located near Bishops Stortford in Hertfordshire. The two earthwork mounds represent a characteristic form of burial monument from the third or second millennium before the present era, when such barrows served as communal or individual grave markers on the chalk landscape. The site remains archaeologically significant as evidence of prehistoric settlement patterns and mortuary practice in the region, though the barrows have been subject to ploughing and other land use pressures that have reduced their original prominence. The monument is statutorily protected as a scheduled ancient monument under national heritage designation.
