Three bowl barrows 500m SSW of Leech Pool is a Bronze Age funerary monument forming part of a round barrow cemetery on Goonhilly Downs in Cornwall. The barrows are of bowl type, the most common form of round barrow, and date to the Bronze Age period when such monuments served as burial places for the dead, often accompanied by grave goods reflecting the social status of the interred. The three barrows contribute to the significant concentration of round barrow cemeteries found across Goonhilly Downs, an area which demonstrates intensive use for burial purposes during the Bronze Age. As a scheduled monument and entry on the National Heritage List for England, the site preserves important evidence of prehistoric funerary practices and settlement patterns in Bronze Age Cornwall.
