Three bowl barrows 160m west of Little Hendra is a Bronze Age funerary monument comprising three circular burial mounds located in Cornwall. The barrows date to the Bronze Age period and represent a form of collective or sequential burial practice characteristic of that era. As earthwork monuments of this type, the three barrows would originally have consisted of raised circular mounds constructed over cremated or inhumed remains, with their survival to the present indicating their archaeological significance for understanding Bronze Age burial customs and settlement patterns in Cornwall. The monument's designation reflects its importance as evidence of prehistoric funerary practice in the region.
