Three bowl barrows 220m WSW of sea mark is a Bronze Age round barrow cemetery located on Ashey Down in Hampshire, England. The site comprises three distinct bowl barrows, a common funerary monument type of the Bronze Age period, which together form part of a larger barrow cemetery that reflects the ritual and burial practices of prehistoric communities in this region. Bowl barrows are characterised by their simple hemispherical mound structure, typically constructed over cremated or inhumed remains, and their distribution across the landscape indicates significant Bronze Age settlement and activity in the area. The grouping of three barrows in close proximity demonstrates the sequential use of this elevated location as a cemetery site over an extended period during the Bronze Age.
