Overview

History & significance

Three bowl barrows 620m east of Dilton Farm is a Bronze Age funerary monument comprising three burial mounds located in Hampshire. The barrows represent typical examples of Bronze Age burial practice in southern England, a period of intensive barrow construction spanning approximately 2200 to 700 BC. As earthwork monuments, bowl barrows are characterised by their simple hemispherical or dome-shaped mounds raised over central graves, often containing inhumations or cremations accompanied by grave goods. The survival of three barrows as a grouped cemetery demonstrates the significance of this location as a place of ritual burial during the later prehistoric period.
