The Heath Hill round barrows is a Neolithic or Bronze Age funerary monument comprising two bowl barrows situated in Gloucestershire. Located approximately 70 metres and 190 metres north-east of Heath Hill, these earthworks represent the burial practices of prehistoric communities in the region. Bowl barrows are the simplest form of round barrow, characterised by a central mound of earth and stone covering an inhumed burial, and typically lack the more elaborate ditches or kerbing found in other barrow variants. The monument's survival as an upstanding earthwork provides evidence for prehistoric settlement and mortuary custom in the Gloucestershire landscape.
