The Group of barrows on the golf course, Came Down is a Bronze Age burial monument complex situated on the Dorset downs near Dorchester. The site comprises multiple burial mounds typical of the Bronze Age funerary landscape, dating to approximately 2000 to 700 BC, when such barrow groups were constructed to mark the graves of significant individuals and communities. The barrows remain visible as earthwork features across the golf course, though their condition and preservation will have been affected by the modern use of the land. Such barrow groups represent important archaeological evidence for understanding Bronze Age settlement patterns, social hierarchy, and ritual practices in the Dorset region.
