Bowl barrow to the west of Five Marys is a Bronze Age funerary monument situated in Dorset, England, forming part of the dispersed barrow cemetery associated with the Five Marys group. The monument consists of a simple bowl-shaped earthwork, a common burial form dating to the Bronze Age period, typically constructed over cremated or inhumed remains. Its position as an outlier to the main Five Marys cemetery reflects the pattern of Bronze Age burial practice in which individual or small group interments were scattered across the landscape rather than concentrated in a single focal point. The site remains a significant component of the Dorset barrow landscape, contributing to understanding of local Bronze Age settlement and mortuary traditions.
