Bowl barrow on Hammiton Hill is a Bronze Age burial mound located approximately 220 metres south-west of Hammiton Farm in Dorset. The monument consists of a simple bowl-shaped earthwork characteristic of Bronze Age funerary practice in southern England, typically constructed as a burial chamber or cremation deposit covered by an earth mound. Such barrows were commonly built during the second and early first millennia BC and served as conspicuous markers within the landscape, often grouped within barrow cemeteries. The site's survival and official designation reflect its archaeological significance as evidence of Bronze Age settlement patterns and funerary customs in Dorset.
