Bowl barrow 1000m SSE of Belhuish Farm is a Bronze Age funerary monument located in Dorset, forming part of a dispersed barrow cemetery to the west of Burngate Wood. The monument consists of a circular earthwork mound characteristic of bowl barrows of the Bronze Age period, constructed as a burial monument for individuals of presumed social status. Its survival and scheduling as a monument of national importance reflects the archaeological significance of the barrow group within the wider landscape, which preserves evidence of prehistoric settlement and funerary practice. The site contributes to understanding Bronze Age burial customs and territorial organisation in Dorset.
