Two round barrows on North Hill is a Bronze Age funerary monument located in Dorset, England. The site comprises two distinct burial mounds typical of the Early to Middle Bronze Age period, when such earthworks were constructed as elite or community burial structures across the English landscape. Round barrows of this type served as focal points in the ritual and ceremonial landscape, often containing cremated or inhumed remains along with grave goods reflecting the status and identity of the deceased. The survival of both mounds at this location contributes to the archaeological understanding of Bronze Age settlement and burial practice in Dorset.
