Stephen's Castle is a bowl barrow located 720 metres east of Eastworth Farm in Dorset, England. The monument dates to the Bronze Age and represents a characteristic burial mound of the type widely constructed across southern England during the second millennium BC. Bowl barrows of this period typically contained inhumation burials, often accompanied by grave goods, and served as focal points for ritual and ceremonial activity within prehistoric communities. The site's survival as a recognisable earthwork demonstrates the enduring physical presence of Bronze Age funerary practices in the Dorset landscape.
