Bowl barrow 800m east of Gourd's Farm is a Bronze Age funerary monument located in Dorset. The barrow survives as a earthen mound characteristic of the Bronze Age burial tradition in southern England, dating to the period roughly between 2200 and 700 BCE. Such monuments typically contained inhumations or cremations within a central chamber or pit, and their construction reflects the importance placed on formal burial practices and territorial markers by Bronze Age communities. The barrow's survival and scheduling as a protected monument recognises its significance as evidence of prehistoric settlement patterns and funerary customs in the region.
