Bowl barrow north of Breeze Hill, 540m ESE of the top of Zig-Zag Hill is a Bronze Age burial monument located in Dorset. The monument takes the form of a simple bowl barrow, a common funerary structure of the Bronze Age period, characterized by a circular mound of earth and stone raised over an inhumed or cremated burial. The barrow is situated within a landscape rich in prehistoric activity, typical of the Dorset chalk downlands where such monuments are frequently encountered. As a surviving example of Bronze Age mortuary practice, the monument contributes to understanding of burial customs and the use of the landscape during the second millennium BCE.
