Three bowl barrows 160m north of The Plantation is a Bronze Age monument comprising three round barrows located on Stockbridge Down in Hampshire. The barrows form part of a dispersed group of burial mounds characteristic of the Early Bronze Age period, when such earthworks served as communal or individual burial sites. The three mounds are of typical bowl barrow form, consisting of earth and stone heaps raised over cremated or inhumed remains. This site contributes to the archaeological significance of Stockbridge Down, which preserves an important concentration of prehistoric funerary monuments reflecting settlement and burial practices of Bronze Age communities in the Test Valley region.
