Two bowl barrows on Shiplate Slait is a Neolithic or Bronze Age funerary monument located in Somerset, England. The site comprises two distinct bowl barrows, the characteristic rounded burial mounds that represent one of the most common forms of prehistoric sepulchral architecture across southern Britain. These monuments reflect the mortuary practices and landscape use of communities during the third and second millennia before the Common Era. The barrows' survival on Shiplate Slait demonstrates the persistence of these Bronze Age features within the Somerset landscape, though like many such monuments they have been subject to erosion and modification over their extensive chronological span.
