Three barrows and a rectilinear enclosure 1000m NNW of Octagon Farm is a Neolithic and Bronze Age mortuary complex located in Bedfordshire, England. The site comprises three burial mounds and an associated rectilinear earthwork enclosure, representing evidence of ritual and mortuary practices spanning the Neolithic and Bronze Age periods. The barrows themselves are characteristic funerary monuments of these periods, whilst the rectilinear enclosure suggests organised spatial planning associated with burial activity and ceremonial use. This complex forms part of the broader mortuary landscape of prehistoric Bedfordshire and contributes to understanding early burial traditions and settlement organisation in the region.
