Bowl barrow 185m WSW of Higher Skippet Farm is a Bronze Age funerary monument located in Dorset. The site comprises a circular earthwork mound characteristic of bowl barrows, the commonest form of burial monument erected during the Bronze Age across southern England. Such barrows typically contained inhumation or cremation burials, often accompanied by grave goods, and served as focal points for ritual activity and territorial marking within prehistoric landscapes. This example contributes to the broader distribution of Bronze Age burial monuments across Dorset, reflecting patterns of settlement and ceremonial practice during the second millennium BCE.
