Bowl barrow on Worgret Heath is a Bronze Age funerary monument located in Dorset, approximately 390 metres west of Little Farm. The barrow takes the form of a simple mounded earthwork characteristic of Bronze Age burial practice, consisting of an upcast mound raised over an interred cremation or inhumation. Such bowl barrows represent a widespread burial tradition across southern Britain during the second millennium BC, often found in clusters across open heathland. The monument survives as an archaeological feature of national importance, designated for its contribution to the understanding of Bronze Age funerary customs and settlement patterns in the Dorset heathlands.
