Two bowl barrows on South Heath, 900m SSE of The Bungalow, is a Bronze Age funerary monument located in Dorset. The site comprises two round barrows of the bowl type, a common form of burial mound constructed during the Bronze Age period. Bowl barrows are characterised by their simple hemispherical or dome-shaped earthwork with a surrounding ditch, representing a widespread tradition of elite or community burial practice across southern Britain during this era. The monument's survival on South Heath demonstrates the persistence of Bronze Age archaeological remains in the Dorset landscape, where such barrow complexes often occur in groups reflecting patterns of burial and land use across the prehistoric period.
