Three bowl barrows 160m west of Little Hendra is a Bronze Age funerary monument located in Cornwall, England. The site comprises three burial mounds of the type characteristic of the Early to Middle Bronze Age, when such earthworks served as communal or individual repositories for the dead. Bowl barrows of this period typically feature a central burial chamber beneath a dome-shaped earthen mound, often surrounded by a ditch from which material was extracted during construction. The three barrows at this location represent a clustering pattern common in Bronze Age funerary landscapes, where multiple burial monuments were established in proximity to one another, suggesting their use by related communities or lineages over successive generations.
