Round barrow SW of Parsonage Down is a Bronze Age burial mound located in Wiltshire. The barrow forms part of the extensive Bronze Age funerary landscape characteristic of the Wessex chalk downlands, an area rich in prehistoric ceremonial and burial monuments. As a round barrow, it would have served as a communal or individual burial structure, typical of the period between approximately 2200 and 1500 BC, though many barrows remained in use or were reused across a longer timespan. The monument is recorded as a scheduled ancient monument and represents an important element of the archaeological heritage of the Parsonage Down area.
