Bowl barrow on Affpuddle Heath is a Bronze Age burial mound located in Dorset, England, situated approximately 95 metres south of Cull-peppers Dish. The monument comprises a roughly circular earthwork typical of bowl barrow construction, a common funerary monument type across southern England during the Bronze Age period. Such barrows functioned as burial chambers and territorial markers within the prehistoric landscape, and their distribution across Affpuddle Heath reflects sustained use of the area during the Bronze Age for commemorating the dead. The barrow survives today as a recognisable archaeological feature and forms part of the important concentration of prehistoric monuments documented in this region of Dorset.
