Two bowl barrows at Bygrave, located 650 metres east of Park Wood in Hertfordshire, is a Neolithic or Early Bronze Age funerary monument. Bowl barrows are simple earthen mounds constructed over burial deposits, representing a widespread burial practice in prehistoric Britain. The two examples at this location form part of the dispersed barrow landscape of the Hertfordshire chalk uplands, which saw concentrated funerary monument construction during the third and second millennia before Christ. The site's survival as a scheduled ancient monument reflects its significance to understanding prehistoric settlement and ceremonial practice in the English midlands.
