Bowl barrow on Godlingston Hill is a Bronze Age burial mound located in Dorset, England. The monument consists of a circular earthwork with a distinctive bowl-shaped profile, typical of barrows constructed during the Bronze Age period, roughly between 2200 and 700 BC. Such monuments served as communal or individual burial sites and represent an important category of prehistoric funerary architecture in southern Britain. The barrow's survival on Godlingston Hill contributes to the archaeological significance of the wider Dorset downland, an area rich in prehistoric remains.
