Three bowl barrows 280m south east of Freshwater Bay Golf Clubhouse is a Bronze Age funerary monument forming part of a round barrow cemetery on Afton Down in Hampshire. The site comprises three distinct bowl barrows, the most basic and common form of round barrow, which date to the Bronze Age period when such burial mounds were constructed across southern England as monuments for high-status individuals and their families. The barrows' survival as earthwork features reflects the relatively undisturbed nature of this downland cemetery, where multiple burial mounds were concentrated within a defined landscape setting. This grouping exemplifies the pattern of Bronze Age mortuary practice characteristic of the chalk downlands of southern Hampshire.
