Two bowl barrows north of Rowbury Lane is a Bronze Age funerary monument located in Wiltshire. These earthworks represent a form of burial mound characteristic of the second millennium before the common era, when such structures were constructed across the Wiltshire chalk downlands. Bowl barrows are among the most common barrow types found in southern England and typically comprised a circular earthen mound raised over a central burial pit or cremation deposit, often surrounded by a ditch from which material for the mound was extracted. The survival of two examples in close proximity at this location demonstrates the clustering patterns typical of Bronze Age cemetery sites in the region.
