Barrows in Salisbury Plantation is a Neolithic and Bronze Age burial monument located in Dorset, England. The site comprises a group of round barrows situated within Salisbury Plantation, representing funerary practices characteristic of prehistoric communities from approximately 4000 to 1000 BCE. These earthwork monuments, though subject to some degradation over time, preserve important evidence of burial customs and settlement patterns in the Wessex region during the Neolithic and Bronze Age periods. The barrows form part of the significant archaeological landscape of Dorset, contributing to our understanding of prehistoric ritual and territorial organisation in southern England.
