Two bowl barrows forming part of Rollestone Field linear round barrow cemetery is a Bronze Age burial monument located in Wiltshire, England. The site comprises two distinct bowl-shaped mounds that form part of a linear arrangement of round barrows characteristic of Bronze Age funerary practice in the region, typically dating to the second millennium BC. These monuments represent the communal burial traditions of early Bronze Age communities and contribute to the archaeological landscape of what appears to have been an established burial ground with multiple interments across successive generations. The barrows survive as earthwork monuments, their physical form preserving evidence of prehistoric mortuary ritual and settlement patterns in the Wiltshire landscape.
