Overview

History & significance

The Group of round barrows NW of Badbury Rings is a Bronze Age burial monument located in Dorset, England. The site comprises multiple earthwork barrows situated to the northwest of the Iron Age hillfort at Badbury Rings, representing funerary practice during the second millennium BCE. These round barrows are characteristic of Bronze Age ritual and burial traditions in southern England, where such monuments frequently clustered in groups across the chalk downland landscape. The barrows survive as upstanding earthwork features, though subject to the inevitable erosion and ploughing pressures that affect many Dorset archaeological sites.
