Barrows at junction of parish boundaries is a scheduled ancient monument located in Dorset, comprising a group of Bronze Age burial mounds positioned at the confluence of parish divisions. The barrows represent typical funerary monuments of the Bronze Age period, when such earthworks served as communal or elite burial sites across southern England. Their location at parish boundaries suggests possible continuity of territorial importance from prehistory through to the later medieval period, when parish divisions were formally established. The site remains archaeologically significant as evidence of Bronze Age settlement patterns and land use in Dorset.
