Bowl barrow on The Cliff is a Bronze Age burial monument located in Dorset, approximately 680 metres north-north-west of Smith's Cottages. The barrow takes the form of a simple earthen mound characteristic of Early Bronze Age funerary practice, constructed to contain the cremated or inhumed remains of one or more individuals of elevated social status. Such monuments are common across the Dorset landscape and represent a significant phase of ritual and burial practice spanning roughly the second millennium before the Common Era. The site is protected as a scheduled ancient monument due to its archaeological importance and its potential to yield information about Bronze Age settlement, social organisation, and mortuary practice in the region.
