Two bowl barrows is a south easternmost pair of a group of six bowl barrows forming part of a linear round barrow cemetery on Rookery Hill in Sussex, England. These monuments date from the Bronze Age and represent typical funerary practice of that period, when communities constructed earthen mounds to mark burial sites. The barrows are characterised by their bowl-shaped form, a common morphology amongst Bronze Age burial monuments across southern England. The linear arrangement of the six barrows indicates a significant communal burial ground, with this southeastern pair constituting the terminal features of the cemetery's arrangement on the hillside.
