Bowl barrow 650m WNW of Peaked Close House is a Bronze Age burial mound forming part of the dispersed round barrow cemetery on Corfe Common in Dorset. The monument consists of a simple bowl-shaped earthwork typical of Early Bronze Age funerary practice, likely dating to between 2000 and 1500 BCE. As one of several barrows scattered across the common, it represents evidence of sustained ritual burial activity across the landscape during the Bronze Age. The barrow survives as an upstanding earthwork, contributing to the archaeological significance of this cemetery landscape as a whole.
