Bell barrow and two bowl barrows 170m north east of Holmebridge Post Office is a Bronze Age funerary monument located in Dorset. The site comprises three distinct barrow forms: a bell barrow, which is characterised by its central mound surrounded by a ditch and outer bank, together with two bowl barrows of simpler construction. These earthworks represent typical Bronze Age burial practices and demonstrate the varied funerary traditions of the second millennium before Christ. The monument's survival as visible earthworks contributes to the archaeological record of prehistoric burial practices in southern England.
