Round barrow N of Heave Coppice is a Bronze Age burial mound located in Dorset, England. The barrow survives as an earthwork within a woodland setting and forms part of a group of round barrows in the locality, representing the funerary practices of early Bronze Age communities. Like other barrows of its type and period, it would have served as a monument to the dead and possibly functioned as a territorial marker for the communities that constructed and maintained it. The site's survival within Heave Coppice demonstrates the importance of wooded areas in preserving such archaeological features from later agricultural disturbance.
