Three bowl barrows 380m west of West End Barn is a Neolithic or Early Bronze Age funerary monument located in Dorset. The site consists of three distinct bowl barrows, the characteristic round burial mounds that represent some of the earliest monumental architecture in Britain, dating to approximately 3500–1500 BCE. These earthen mounds would have served as communal or individual burial places and are significant as archaeological evidence of prehistoric mortuary practices and settlement patterns in the region. The barrows survive as earthwork monuments and remain registered on the National Heritage List for England as evidence of the area's Bronze Age heritage.
