Bowl barrow 800m NNE of Gore Farm on Melbury Down

The National Heritage List for England records Bowl barrow 800m NNE of Gore Farm on Melbury Down as a scheduled monument. The saved point comes from the centre supplied by the official record. Listing does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.

Bowl barrow, dating to the Early Bronze Age (c. 2000–1500 BCE), is a type of round barrow typically used as a burial monument. This example is significant as part of a wider pattern of Bronze Age funerary and ritual activity in the Dorset Downs landscape.
