Three bowl barrows 600m south-west of Knap Cottage is a Bronze Age funerary monument located in Wiltshire. The site comprises three distinct bowl barrows, the characteristic mounded burial structures of the Bronze Age period, which date to approximately the second millennium before the common era. These earthworks represent the remains of communal or successive burials typical of Bronze Age ritual practice in the Wessex region. The barrows survive as low to moderate earthen mounds and form part of the wider Bronze Age funerary landscape that characterises the chalk downlands of central Wiltshire.
