The Heath Hill round barrows are a pair of Bronze Age burial monuments located near Heath Hill in Gloucestershire. The two bowl barrows, positioned approximately 70 metres and 190 metres north-east of Heath Hill itself, represent typical funerary structures of the Bronze Age period, when such earthen mounds were constructed to inter the dead and mark significant burial sites within the landscape. Bowl barrows of this type are characterised by their simple hemispherical form, created by heaping earth over a central burial deposit. These monuments form part of a broader pattern of Bronze Age barrow construction across the Gloucestershire region and contribute to understanding the burial practices and settlement patterns of prehistoric communities in the area.
