The National Heritage List for England records Bowl barrow on Beaminster Down 770m north east of Higher Meerhay Farm 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). It is significant as a rare surviving example of a prehistoric burial monument in the Beaminster Down area, reflecting early ceremonial and funerary practices in the region.
