Two bowl barrows in Hinton Bushes is a Neolithic or Bronze Age funerary monument located in Dorset, situated approximately 850 metres north of Pimperne Long Barrow. The site comprises two distinct circular earthworks characteristic of the bowl barrow type, a common burial monument form across southern England during the later Neolithic and Bronze Age periods.
