Three bowl barrows 540m east of Week Farm is a Neolithic or Bronze Age funerary monument forming part of a round barrow cemetery situated on Week Down in Hampshire. The site consists of three bowl barrows, the most basic and common form of round barrow, which are characterised by their simple hemispherical mounds raised over cremated or inhumed burials. These monuments date to the later prehistoric period, spanning the Neolithic through to the Bronze Age, and their presence within the wider barrow cemetery indicates intensive ritual and funerary use of the landscape during these periods. The barrows represent significant evidence of early settlement patterns and mortuary practices in Hampshire during the later prehistoric era.
