Two bowl barrows at Rockhurst is a Bronze Age funerary monument located in Derbyshire. These earthwork barrows represent a characteristic burial form of the Bronze Age period, when such mounded structures were constructed to commemorate the deceased and serve as focal points within the landscape. The site comprises two distinct bowl-shaped mounds, typical examples of the barrow tradition that flourished across the English uplands during the second millennium BCE. As scheduled ancient monuments, the barrows preserve evidence of prehistoric burial practices and settlement patterns in the Derbyshire region.
