Barrows in Came Wood is a Bronze Age burial monument located in Dorset, England. The site comprises a group of earthen barrows, characteristic of funerary monuments constructed during the Bronze Age period, roughly 2200 to 800 BCE. These mounds would have served as burial places for individuals of status within their communities, reflecting the ritual and social practices of prehistoric Dorset. The survival of multiple barrows at this location provides evidence of sustained use of the woodland area as a burial ground across the Bronze Age period.
