Bowl barrow 560m NNE of North Down Barn is a Bronze Age burial monument located in Dorset, England. The barrow survives as a substantial earthwork mound characteristic of the bowl barrow type, a common funerary structure erected during the Bronze Age period across southern Britain. Such monuments typically contained inhumation or cremation burials accompanied by grave goods, though specific details of this particular example's contents remain undocumented in readily available sources. The site's survival as a recognisable archaeological feature demonstrates the significance of Dorset's barrow landscape, which preserves substantial evidence of Bronze Age mortuary practice and social organisation.
