Round barrow S of Manor Farm is a Bronze Age burial mound located in Dorset, England. The barrow forms part of a dispersed cemetery of round barrows in the region, typical of funerary monuments constructed during the Bronze Age period, roughly 2200 to 700 BCE. The mound survives as an earthwork feature in the landscape, preserving evidence of prehistoric burial practices and settlement patterns in Dorset. Such barrows commonly contained cremated or inhumed remains, sometimes accompanied by grave goods, though the specific contents and condition of this particular example would require archaeological survey to establish.
