Bowl barrow on Worgret Heath is a Bronze Age burial monument located in Dorset, approximately 390 metres west of Little Farm. The barrow takes the form of a low, rounded earthwork characteristic of bowl barrows, which represent one of the most common types of burial mound constructed during the Bronze Age in southern England. Such monuments typically covered inhumation or cremation burials, often accompanied by grave goods, and served as focal points for ritual and ceremonial activity within prehistoric communities. The barrow survives as an upstanding earthwork and remains an important archaeological record of Bronze Age funerary practice in the Dorset landscape.
