Two bowl barrows on West Rudham Common is a pair of Bronze Age funerary monuments located approximately 1300 metres east of the Grange in Norfolk, England. Bowl barrows are among the most common forms of burial mound from the Bronze Age, typically comprising a central burial pit or chamber covered by an earthwork mound. These examples at West Rudham Common represent the funerary practices of Bronze Age communities in East Anglia, a period when such monuments served as focal points for ancestral commemoration within the landscape. The survival of both barrows, despite later agricultural use of the common land, provides archaeological evidence for prehistoric settlement patterns and ritual practices in Norfolk.
