Long barrows and a group of round barrows on Bokerly Down is a Neolithic and Bronze Age burial monument complex located on the downs of Dorset. The site comprises a long barrow of Neolithic date alongside several round barrows of Bronze Age construction, representing successive phases of ritual and burial practice spanning roughly two millennia. The long barrow represents the communal burial traditions characteristic of Neolithic farming communities in southern England, whilst the round barrows reflect the individual or small group interments typical of the Bronze Age. Together, these monuments form an important archaeological landscape documenting the continuity of ritual use and burial practice across a significant span of prehistoric time.
