Bowl barrow 650m WNW of Peaked Close House is a Bronze Age funerary monument forming part of a dispersed round barrow cemetery on Corfe Common in Dorset. The barrow survives as an earthwork of typical bowl form characteristic of Bronze Age burial practice, when such mounds were raised over cremated or inhumed remains. Its location within the wider barrow cemetery reflects the use of Corfe Common as a burial ground during the Bronze Age, a pattern common across the Dorset heathlands where multiple barrows often cluster across the landscape. The site is recorded on the National Heritage List for England under entry 1011490.
