Three bowl barrows 420m south-west of Pitts Copse Farm is a Bronze Age burial monument forming part of the Beaulieu Heath round barrow cemetery in Hampshire. The three earthen mounds are characteristic examples of bowl barrows, the most common form of round barrow constructed during the Bronze Age, typically dating from approximately 2100 to 1500 BCE. Located within a wider cemetery complex, these barrows represent evidence of sustained ritual burial practice across the prehistoric landscape of the New Forest region. The site demonstrates the landscape-scale organisation of funerary monuments typical of Bronze Age communities in southern England.
