Hengiform barrow and associated ring ditch south of Burdocks is a Neolithic or Early Bronze Age burial monument located in Gloucestershire. The site comprises a barrow mound together with an encircling ring ditch, a configuration that reflects prehistoric funerary and ceremonial practices of the third and second millennia before the present. The hengiform designation suggests the site displays characteristics associated with henges, namely the circular ditched enclosure, though its primary function as a burial monument distinguishes it from purely ceremonial henge complexes. The monument survives as an archaeological feature of regional significance within the broader landscape of Gloucestershire's prehistoric burial traditions.
