Bowl barrow 550m east of Chideock Farm is a Bronze Age funerary monument located in Dorset. The barrow survives as a earthen mound of typical bowl form, a common burial structure from the Bronze Age period, approximately 2000 to 700 BC. Such monuments were constructed as places of burial for individuals of presumably elevated social status, and their distribution across the Dorset landscape reflects settlement patterns and social organisation of prehistoric communities. The barrow's survival to the present day contributes to understanding Bronze Age mortuary practices and land use in south-western England.
