Fancy barrow on Setley Plain is a Bronze Age burial mound located in the New Forest area of Hampshire. The barrow survives as an earthwork of modest dimensions typical of the region's funerary monuments, which date from the second millennium before Christ. Such burial mounds served as focal points for Bronze Age communities and often contained cremated or inhumed remains, sometimes accompanied by grave goods. The site contributes to the significant concentration of prehistoric monuments within the New Forest landscape, an area rich in archaeological evidence of early metal-working societies.
