Round barrow W of Druce Higher Barn is a Bronze Age burial mound located in Dorset, England. The monument represents a typical example of the round barrow tradition characteristic of the Bronze Age period, when such earthwork structures served as communal or individual burial sites across southern Britain. The barrow's physical form consists of a circular mound of earth and stone, though its condition reflects the passage of over three thousand years and the impacts of agricultural use and weathering. As a scheduled monument, it remains an important archaeological record of Bronze Age funerary practices and settlement patterns in the Dorset landscape.
