Two bowl barrows on High Down, 370m west of Tennyson's Beacon is a Bronze Age funerary monument located in Hampshire. The site comprises two prominent circular earthworks characteristic of bowl barrow construction, a dominant burial form across southern England during the Bronze Age, typically dating to the second millennium BCE. These monuments would have originally contained inhumation or cremation burials accompanied by grave goods, reflecting the burial practices and social organisation of Bronze Age communities. The barrows remain visible as earthwork features on the landscape, contributing to the archaeological evidence of Bronze Age settlement and ritual activity in the Hampshire downlands.
