Overview

History & significance

Two bowl barrows on Turner's Puddle Heath, 480m and 540m north east of Lawrence of Arabia's Cottage is a Neolithic or Bronze Age funerary monument located in Dorset, England. The site comprises two distinct circular burial mounds of earthen construction, characteristic of the bowl barrow form that was prevalent across southern England during the prehistoric period. These monuments represent evidence of early mortuary practices and settlement patterns in the Dorset landscape, and their proximity to one another suggests a localised area of burial activity. The barrows remain substantially visible as earthwork features and are protected as a scheduled ancient monument.
