Five Barrows is a Bronze Age round barrow cemetery located on Lulworth Heath in Dorset. The site comprises multiple burial mounds arranged across the heath, situated approximately four hundred metres north-east of The Cat public house. These barrows represent a significant concentration of funerary monuments typical of the Bronze Age period, when such earthen mounds served as focal points for ritual interment practices. The cemetery's preservation and designation as a scheduled ancient monument reflects its archaeological importance for understanding Bronze Age burial traditions and settlement patterns in the Dorset landscape.
