The King Barrow is a Bronze Age burial mound located approximately 200 metres south-east of The Warren Wood in Dorset, England. The monument survives as an earthwork mound characteristic of funerary monuments constructed during the Bronze Age period, when such barrows served as communal or high-status burial places across southern Britain. Its designation as a scheduled monument reflects its archaeological significance as evidence of Bronze Age settlement and burial practices in the Dorset landscape. The barrow contributes to the broader pattern of Bronze Age ceremonial sites found throughout the county.
