A bowl barrow 500m north-east of Oak Tree Farm is a Bronze Age funerary monument located on Coombe Heath in Dorset. The barrow forms part of a significant grouping of burial mounds distributed across the heath, reflecting the concentrated use of this landscape for elite and communal interment during the Bronze Age period. The monument survives as a circular earthwork of characteristic bowl barrow form, comprising a burial mound surrounded by a ditch, typical of the funerary architecture employed in southern England during the second millennium BCE. As a scheduled ancient monument and entry on the National Heritage List for England, the site contributes to understanding Bronze Age mortuary practices and settlement patterns in the Dorset Heathland.
