Bowl barrow 350m south of Gorcombe Farm is a Bronze Age burial mound located in Dorset, England. The monument consists of a roughly circular earthwork characteristic of bowl barrows, a common funerary monument type constructed during the Bronze Age period. Bowl barrows of this type typically contained inhumation or cremation burials, often accompanied by grave goods, and served as focal points for ritual and ceremonial activity in prehistoric communities. The barrow's survival as an upstanding earthwork makes it an important archaeological record of Bronze Age burial practice and settlement patterns in the Dorset landscape.
