Two round barrows on Ridgeway is a pair of Bronze Age burial monuments located in Dorset. These earthwork structures represent typical funerary practice of the second millennium before the common era, when such mounded burial sites were constructed across southern England. The barrows form part of the wider landscape of prehistoric ceremonial and burial activity characteristic of Dorset's chalk downlands during the Bronze Age period. As scheduled ancient monuments, they retain archaeological significance for understanding settlement patterns and ritual practices in prehistoric Wessex.
