Bowl barrow on Hammiton Hill is a Bronze Age funerary monument located approximately 220 metres south-west of Hammiton Farm in Dorset. The barrow takes the form of a circular earthwork with a raised central mound, characteristic of bowl barrows constructed during the Bronze Age period, roughly 2200 to 700 BCE. Such monuments served as burial sites and represent a significant phase of Dorset's prehistoric landscape, when these conspicuous mounds functioned as territorial markers and expressions of community identity. The barrow survives as an earthwork feature and remains of archaeological and historical importance as evidence of Bronze Age funerary practices in the region.
