Three bowl barrows 560m south east of Cherry Cross is a Bronze Age funerary monument located in Cornwall. The site comprises three distinct bowl barrows, which are burial mounds characteristic of Bronze Age ritual practice dating to approximately 2000–1000 BC. Bowl barrows represent one of the most common forms of prehistoric burial monument in southwest England, typically constructed as earthen mounds raised over cremated or inhumed remains. The three examples at this location form part of the extensive distribution of Bronze Age barrow cemeteries across the Cornish landscape, reflecting patterns of territorial organisation and funerary practice during the later prehistoric period.
