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.
