Five Barrows is a Bronze Age barrow cemetery located on Lulworth Heath in Dorset, consisting of a group of round burial mounds dating to the second millennium BCE. The site comprises several well-preserved earthen barrows positioned approximately 400 metres north-east of The Cat, itself an ancient burial monument in the same landscape. These mounds represent a significant concentration of funerary activity from the Bronze Age period and form part of the wider pattern of round barrow construction characteristic of prehistoric Dorset. The barrows are recorded as a scheduled monument under the National Heritage List for England (entry 1007694) and remain important archaeological evidence of Bronze Age burial practices and settlement patterns in the region.
