Three bowl barrows 700m east of Taylor's Cross is a Bronze Age monument located in Cornwall, England. The site consists of three burial mounds typical of the Bronze Age period, when such barrows served as communal or individual graves for the prehistoric population. Bowl barrows of this type are characterised by their simple hemispherical earthwork form, distinct from more elaborate barrow types, and represent a significant form of funerary monument across southern Britain during the second millennium before Christ. The survival of three examples in close proximity at this location indicates a concentrated area of Bronze Age mortuary activity and provides evidence of settlement and burial practices in the Cornish landscape during this formative prehistoric period.
