Poor Lot Barrow Cemetery

Poor Lot Barrow Cemetery is an archaeological site, a group of Bronze Age round barrows, near the A35 road about 2 miles west of Winterbourne Abbas, in Dorset, England [1]. Although the barrows are situated not on a ridge or hilltop, as is usually found, but on relatively low-lying ground, the site is near the head of a valley descending to the east [1]. Most are south of the A35 road, with a few north of the road [1]. They date from about 1500 BC [1]. The barrows, individually or in groups, are separately listed as ancient monuments [1]. There is a minor plateau on the west of the site, from which all the barrows can be seen [1].
