Bowl barrow 515m south of the southern extent of Horse Close Plantation is a Bronze Age burial monument located in Dorset. The barrow takes the form of a simple earthen mound with a circular plan, characteristic of bowl barrows constructed during the Bronze Age. Its location within the Dorset landscape places it within a broader pattern of burial activity from this period, when such monuments served as communal or individual graves, often containing cremated remains and grave goods. The site is recorded on the National Heritage List for England and represents an important part of the archaeological evidence for Bronze Age funerary practice in the county.
