Bowl barrow cemetery and a cross dyke on Horton Common 800m south of Bridge Farm is a Bronze Age funerary and defensive monument located in Dorset, England. The site comprises a group of bowl barrows, the most common form of burial mound from the Bronze Age, arranged as a cemetery, alongside a cross dyke—a linear earthwork that likely served a territorial or defensive function during the same period. The barrows and dyke represent significant evidence of Bronze Age settlement patterns and land organisation in the region.
