Bowl barrow on Whitcombe Hill is a Bronze Age burial mound situated approximately 500 metres north of Whitcombe Farm in Dorset. The monument comprises a roughly circular earthwork of the type characteristic of early Bronze Age funerary practice in southern England, likely dating to the period between approximately 2200 and 1500 BCE. Bowl barrows of this form typically contained inhumation burials, often accompanied by grave goods, and served as focal points for Bronze Age communities. The survival of this earthwork contributes to the archaeological record of Bronze Age funerary monuments in the Dorset landscape.
