Bowl barrow 120m south of the southern extent of Horse Close Plantation is a Bronze Age funerary monument located in Dorset. The site represents a typical example of the round barrow tradition characteristic of the early to middle Bronze Age, when such earthworks served as burial mounds for individuals of social prominence. The barrow survives as an upstanding circular earthwork with the characteristic bowl-shaped profile from which this monument type derives its name. Such barrows are significant indicators of Bronze Age settlement patterns and burial practices in the English landscape.
