Three bowl barrows 40m north of The Cursus is a Bronze Age funerary monument located in Wiltshire. The barrows form part of the broader barrow cemetery associated with The Cursus, a Neolithic linear monument, and represent the later use of this significant ritual landscape. Bowl barrows of this type typically date to the Early Bronze Age and served as burial mounds for individual or family groups, constructed by heaping earth over cremated or inhumed remains. The survival of three examples in close proximity indicates the continued importance of this location for funerary practices during the Bronze Age period.
