The White Barrow is a bowl barrow located in Dorset, England, situated approximately 660 metres south-west of the Round House. The monument dates to the Bronze Age and represents a common funerary monument type of that period, constructed as a earthen mound raised over a burial deposit. Bowl barrows of this form are among the most characteristic burial monuments of Bronze Age Britain, typically consisting of a simple earthwork without complex internal structures. The site remains a significant archaeological record of Bronze Age mortuary practice and settlement patterns in the Dorset landscape.
