Three bowl barrows 1295m east of Trenoon is a Bronze Age burial monument forming part of a round barrow cemetery located on Goonhilly Downs in Cornwall. The site comprises three bowl barrows, which are the most common type of round barrow, characterised by a raised circular mound with a shallow bowl-like depression. These monuments date to the Bronze Age, a period during which communities across Britain constructed extensive barrow cemeteries, often clustering burial mounds in significant landscape locations.
