Parley Barrow is a Bronze Age bowl barrow located in Dorset, situated at the corner of Ellesfield Drive and Druid's Close. The monument consists of a circular earthwork characteristic of burial mounds constructed during the Bronze Age, a period when such barrows served as sepulchral monuments for prominent individuals within prehistoric communities. The barrow's survival as an upstanding earthwork makes it an important archaeological resource for understanding Bronze Age mortuary practices and settlement patterns in the Dorset landscape. As a scheduled ancient monument, Parley Barrow is protected under law due to its archaeological significance and contribution to the archaeological record of southern England.
