Two bowl barrows on Conygar Hill is a Neolithic or Bronze Age funerary monument located in Dorset, England. Bowl barrows represent one of the most common forms of burial mound in prehistoric Britain, typically constructed as simple earthen domes raised over cremated or inhumed remains, often accompanied by grave goods. The two examples on Conygar Hill survive as earthwork features within the landscape, preserving evidence of funerary practices during the third and second millennia before the common era. Such monuments are significant for understanding settlement patterns, ritual behaviour, and social organisation in prehistoric Dorset.
