The Group of three round barrows west of Two Gates is a Bronze Age funerary monument located in Dorset. The barrows represent typical examples of the burial mounds constructed during the Bronze Age period, when such earthworks served as communal or individual sepulchral monuments across southern England. The three mounds, preserved in their landscape setting west of Two Gates, form a grouped complex characteristic of Bronze Age barrow cemeteries that cluster in certain topographically favourable locations. These monuments constitute important archaeological evidence for understanding Bronze Age mortuary practices and settlement patterns in Dorset.
