Overview

History & significance

Three barrows SW of Newton Down Farm is a Bronze Age burial monument located in Hampshire, England. The three burial mounds are characteristic of the funerary practices of the Bronze Age period, when such earthen barrows served as communal or individual burial sites across the downland landscape of southern England. The barrows' survival as distinct earthworks reflects their substantial original construction, though like many such monuments their internal structure and any grave goods they may once have contained are no longer readily apparent. Their placement in the Hampshire countryside is consistent with the distribution of Bronze Age funerary monuments across the region's chalk downlands.
