Two bowl barrows on Clouds Hill is a Neolithic or Bronze Age funerary monument located in Dorset, approximately ninety metres south-west of Lawrence of Arabia's Cottage. The barrows are characteristic examples of the bowl barrow type, simple earthen mounds constructed over burial deposits, which represent one of the most common forms of prehistoric burial monument in southern England. The site's proximity to T.E. Lawrence's twentieth-century residence adds a layer of modern historical context to the ancient landscape, though the barrows themselves date to the second or third millennium before the common era. These monuments form part of the wider archaeological record of the Dorset heathlands, an area rich in prehistoric funerary and ritual sites.
