Group of round barrows on Shorn Hill and Bronkham Hill is a Bronze Age funerary monument complex located in Dorset. The site comprises multiple round barrows distributed across two adjacent hilltops, representing a significant concentration of burial mounds typical of the second millennium before Christ. These earthworks reflect the ritual and territorial practices of Bronze Age communities in southern England, serving as repositories for the cremated or inhumed remains of individuals of social standing. The barrows remain visible as low to moderate earthen mounds on the landscape, preserving evidence of prehistoric burial practice and settlement patterns across the Dorset uplands.
