Two bowl barrows in Roundway Hill Covert is a Neolithic or Bronze Age funerary monument located in Wiltshire. The site comprises two distinct bowl barrows, the most common form of burial mound found across southern England during the Bronze Age, though such monuments may also date to the terminal Neolithic period. Bowl barrows are characterised by their simple hemispherical earthwork construction, typically raised over a central burial or cremation deposit. The monument's survival within Roundway Hill Covert woodland demonstrates the preservation potential of barrows situated in forested areas, where ploughing damage has been avoided and the earthworks remain relatively intact.
