The Two Bowl Barrows on Bow Hill are Bronze Age round barrows forming part of the Devil's Humps cemetery, a significant barrow group located in Sussex. These earthen mounds, characteristic of funerary monuments constructed during the Bronze Age, represent the burial practices and ceremonial landscapes of prehistoric communities in south-eastern England. The barrows at this location demonstrate the clustering of burial monuments typical of Bronze Age cemetery sites, which often developed over successive generations as focal points for ritual and commemoration. The monument is recorded as a nationally important heritage asset and contributes to our understanding of Bronze Age settlement patterns and religious practices in the Sussex landscape.
