One of the Rainbarrows, Duddle Heath

The mound in this picture is one of three Bronze Age bowl barrows on Duddle Heath, collectively named The Rainbarrows. Edward Cunnington excavated these barrows in 1887 and the cremation urns recovered are now held in the Dorset County Museum. The area around the rainbarrows has recently been cleared of scrub and rhododendron as part of the "Hardy's Egdon Heath Project" to re-establish the heathland on the edge of Puddletown Forest.
