Barrow on parish boundary is a Bronze Age burial mound located in Dorset. The monument occupies a significant location marked by the boundary between two parishes, a positioning that reflects the importance of such elevated features in defining territorial divisions during the medieval period and possibly earlier. The barrow itself represents the funerary practices of the Bronze Age population, when prominent earthen mounds served as communal or high-status burial places within the landscape. As a surviving example of prehistoric ceremonial architecture, it contributes to understanding both the settlement patterns and land organisation of Bronze Age Dorset.
