Bowl barrow on Lockyer's Hill is a Bronze Age burial mound located in Dorset, approximately 820 metres south-west of Lower Woodbury Farm. The monument consists of a circular earthwork typical of bowl barrow form, a common funerary monument type constructed during the Bronze Age period. Such barrows served as burial places for individuals of elevated social status and were often positioned on elevated terrain, as in this instance on Lockyer's Hill, which would have made them prominent features in the contemporary landscape. The barrow remains archaeologically significant as evidence of Bronze Age mortuary practice and settlement patterns in the Dorset region.
