Straw Barrow is a Bronze Age burial mound located in Dorset, England. The barrow forms part of the wider archaeological landscape of Dorset's prehistoric monuments, which includes numerous burial and ceremonial sites dating from the second millennium BC. The monument survives as an earthwork, though like many barrows of its type, it has been subject to erosion and modification over time. Such barrows typically functioned as repositories for elite or community burials and represent important evidence for Bronze Age mortuary practices and social organisation in southern Britain.
