Two bowl barrows on Blakeney Downs is a Neolithic or Bronze Age funerary monument located in Norfolk, England. Bowl barrows are among the most common burial mound types in prehistoric Britain, consisting of a central burial chamber covered by an earthen mound of roughly hemispherical form. The two examples at Blakeney Downs represent the funerary practices of early farming communities or later bronze-working peoples, though the precise dating and associated artefactual evidence would require reference to archaeological excavation records. These monuments are of significance as examples of prehistoric burial architecture and contribute to our understanding of settlement patterns and ritual practice in Norfolk during the Neolithic and Bronze Age periods.
