Blandford Race Down is a Bronze Age funerary and settlement complex located in Dorset, comprising two bowl barrows and associated Romano-British settlement remains. The barrows themselves date to the Bronze Age and represent typical examples of burial monuments from this period, constructed as earthen mounds over inhumed or cremated remains. The site's historical significance is enhanced by evidence of later Romano-British activity, indicating continuity of occupation or ritual use of the landscape across an extended chronology. The monument lies approximately 450 metres south-east of Telegraph Clump and is protected as a scheduled ancient monument under the designation NHLE 1020954.
