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 site consists of three distinct bowl barrows, the simplest form of round barrow, which date to the second millennium BCE. These monuments are characteristic of the burial practices of Bronze Age communities in southwest England and contribute to the archaeological significance of Goonhilly Downs, which contains multiple barrow groups reflecting sustained funerary use across the Bronze Age period. The barrows survive as earthwork remains and form an important element of the archaeological landscape of the Lizard Peninsula.
