Bowl barrow on Great Plantation is a Bronze Age funerary monument located approximately 600 metres north-east of Woodside in Dorset. The site represents a characteristic form of burial mound construction dating to the Bronze Age, when such earthworks were raised over inhumation or cremation burials as markers of individual or family status within early metal-using communities. The barrow survives as a distinct earthwork within the landscape, retaining sufficient relief to be identified and recorded as a scheduled ancient monument. Such bowl barrows are distributed across the Dorset landscape in significant numbers, forming part of the archaeological evidence for Bronze Age settlement patterns and funerary practices in the region.
