Bowl barrow 470m south east of Down Barn is a Bronze Age burial mound forming an outlier of the Chaldon Down barrow group in Dorset. The monument consists of a simple earthen mound of circular plan, characteristic of bowl barrows constructed during the Bronze Age as elite burial monuments. Its position as an outlier to the main Chaldon Down group indicates the dispersed nature of Bronze Age funerary practice across the downland landscape. The barrow remains substantially preserved as an archaeological feature of significance to understanding Bronze Age settlement and burial patterns in Dorset.
