Barrows in and near St Giles Park is a Bronze Age burial monument complex located in Dorset, England. The site comprises multiple barrows, or burial mounds, which represent funerary practices characteristic of the Bronze Age period, roughly 2200 to 700 BCE. These earthworks reflect the ritual and social organisation of Bronze Age communities in southern England, and their preservation provides valuable archaeological evidence for understanding burial customs and settlement patterns of the period. The barrows' survival as earthwork monuments contributes to the archaeological landscape of Dorset, an area notable for its concentration of Bronze Age burial remains.
