Round Barrow in Dorset

Bell barrow on Godlingston Heath.

The barrow is alongside a footpath through the Isle of Purbeck Golf Course, and it has been landscaped as part of the golf course giving it a very flat top. The monument's scheduling excludes 'the bench and golf ball washing facility situated on the north-east side of the mound'.

Situated high on Godlingston Heath, there are spectacular views from the barrow across Studland Heath and Poole Harbour.

The Fishing Barrow
The Fishing Barrow submitted by JimChampion : The curiously-named Fishing Barrow, from the south. As you can probably tell, it is now part of a golf course. The top of the mound has been levelled-off. Photo taken in June 2010. (Vote or comment on this photo)
