Disc barrow on Fargo Road is a Bronze Age burial monument located in Wiltshire. The site consists of a central mound surrounded by a ditch and outer bank, a configuration characteristic of disc barrows, a particular form of funerary monument common in southern England during the Bronze Age. The monument survives as an earthwork and contributes to the substantial concentration of prehistoric burial sites found across the Wiltshire chalk downlands. Such monuments are significant for understanding Bronze Age burial practices and the landscape organisation of later prehistoric communities in the region.
