The Group of three round barrows on Eggardon Hill is a Bronze Age funerary monument located on the hilltop in Dorset. The barrows date to the second millennium BCE and represent a significant concentration of burial mounds within the landscape of this prominent elevated position. The three mounds retain their characteristic rounded form, though their original dimensions and internal construction have been modified by antiquarian activity and natural erosion over millennia. As Bronze Age burial monuments, these barrows form part of the wider funerary archaeology of Dorset and contribute to understanding settlement patterns and social organisation during the prehistoric period.
