Eastlow Hill is a scheduled monument still existing just north-east of Rushbrooke. It was actually excavated as far back as 1844 and found to contain a Roman burial chamber, complete with skeleton in a lead coffin. It and three others (later destroyed, which held Roman cremations) formed a group known as the Four Hills, and are believed to be the graves of a family that lived in a known villa nearby.
So, not only was the purpose of both mounds known in Rudge's day, but so was their age, showing that they couldn't have been raised as part of any supposedly-prehistoric trackway. The fact that no puddingstones were known at either should have ruled them out in any case.
