Mag's Barrow is a Neolithic long barrow located near Winterborne Stickland in Dorset, England. The monument consists of an earthen mound with a distinctive elongated form characteristic of long barrows from the fourth and third millennia BC, built as communal burial structures by early farming communities. The barrow survives as a substantial earthwork, though like many monuments of its age it has been subject to erosion and agricultural use over subsequent centuries. It forms part of the significant concentration of Neolithic burial monuments found in the Dorset landscape, contributing important evidence to understanding the funerary practices and settlement patterns of the region's earliest farming populations.
