Bowl barrow on Arne Hill is a Bronze Age burial mound situated approximately 270 metres south-west of Arne Dairy House in Dorset. The monument takes the form of a simple bowl-shaped earthwork, a common funerary structure characteristic of the Bronze Age period when such barrows were constructed across southern England as repositories for cremated or inhumed remains. The site represents an important element of the Bronze Age ceremonial and burial landscape of the Dorset heathlands. As a scheduled monument, the barrow contributes to our understanding of prehistoric settlement patterns and funerary practices in the region.
