Round Barrow(s) in Dorset
The Bul Barrow, appropriately enough, is a bowl barrow on top of the chalk escarpment known as Bulbarrow Hill. The barrow has a mound which is 16m in diameter and a maximum of 1.5m high, with a hollow at its centre. The mound is surrounded by a ditch 3m wide and 0.3m deep which has been truncated by the road on the south west
side. [source]
Access Bulbarrow Hill is signposted on the minor roads west of Blandford Forum. The barrow itself is not an impressive sight, but you can park right next to it on the verge and its only a short walk down the lane to Rawlsbury hillfort. Impressive views on a clear day, presumably the reason why the barrow has been used as the site of a beacon in the past. Its now overshadowed by the MOD "wireless telegraphy" masts.
