Two bowl barrows is a Bronze Age monument consisting of two adjacent burial mounds forming part of a linear cemetery of six bowl barrows on Rookery Hill in Sussex. These southeastern barrows represent the Bronze Age funerary practices of south-eastern England, when such earthwork mounds were constructed as focal points for burial and ritual activity. The barrows remain visible as earthwork features on the hillside, their physical form preserving evidence of prehistoric settlement patterns and the ceremonial landscape of the period. The linear arrangement of barrows across Rookery Hill reflects the sequential use of the site as a burial ground during the Bronze Age.
