The Group of three round barrows west of Two Gates is a Bronze Age funerary monument located in Dorset. The site consists of three distinct burial mounds arranged in close proximity, typical of barrow clusters from the second millennium BCE. Round barrows of this period served as ceremonial and sepulchral monuments for high-status individuals or family groups, and their presence indicates sustained Bronze Age settlement and ritual activity in the locality. The barrows remain visible as earthworks and form part of the broader landscape of prehistoric funerary monuments characteristic of Dorset's archaeological heritage.
