Three bowl barrows 350m north of The Avenue is a Bronze Age funerary monument forming part of the Old King Barrows linear cemetery near Amesbury in Wiltshire. The site comprises three distinct bowl barrows, the most common form of round barrow, arranged within a broader alignment of burial mounds that extends across the landscape. These monuments date to the Bronze Age and represent the ritual burial practices of prehistoric communities in the Wessex region, an area of considerable ceremonial and settlement significance during this period. The barrows survive as earthwork mounds and contribute to understanding the extensive funerary landscape that developed around the nearby Stonehenge and Durrington Walls complexes.
