Bell barrow and seven bowl barrows is a dispersed round barrow cemetery located on Worgret Heath in Dorset, situated approximately 645 metres north-west of Worgret Manor Farm. The monument comprises eight burial mounds dating to the Bronze Age, which represents a significant concentration of funerary monuments from this prehistoric period. The site consists of one bell barrow, distinguished by its characteristic central mound surrounded by a ditch and outer bank, together with seven smaller bowl barrows that typify the simpler round barrow tradition. This dispersed arrangement reflects Bronze Age burial practices and the landscape's use as a ceremonial or funerary focus across successive generations.
