Round barrow E of Bayard's Barn is a Bronze Age funerary monument located in Dorset, England. The barrow forms part of a dispersed cemetery of Bronze Age burial mounds in the Bayard's Barn complex, reflecting the sustained use of this landscape for ritual and mortuary practices during the second millennium before the common era. As a round barrow, it would have originally comprised an earthen mound raised over a burial or cremation, though its current physical condition reflects the effects of millennia of cultivation and erosion. The monument is recorded on the National Heritage List for England and remains an important archaeological resource for understanding Bronze Age settlement patterns and burial practices in the Dorset region.
