The National Heritage List for England records Bowl barrow 900m WNW of Peaked Close House: part of a dispersed round barrow cemetery on Corfe Common 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 for single inhumation burials. This example is part of a dispersed cemetery on Corfe Common, reflecting the significance of such monuments in early Bronze Age funerary and landscape practices in southern England.
