Mag's Barrow is a Bronze Age round barrow located in Dorset, England. The monument consists of an earthen mound with a surrounding ditch, typical of burial mounds constructed during the Bronze Age period. The barrow represents the funerary practices of prehistoric communities in the region and contributes to the archaeological understanding of settlement patterns and ritual activity in Dorset during the second millennium BCE. Like many round barrows of this era, it would originally have contained an inhumed or cremated burial, though any grave goods or skeletal material are no longer visible or have been disturbed.
