Three bowl barrows 815m north west of Leech Pool is a Bronze Age funerary monument forming part of a round barrow cemetery on Goonhilly Downs in Cornwall. The site comprises three burial mounds of bowl barrow type, a form characteristic of Bronze Age mortuary practice in southwest England, dating to the period approximately 2000–1000 BCE. These monuments represent significant evidence of burial ritual and settlement patterns during the Bronze Age occupation of the Cornish moors. The barrow cemetery of which they form part demonstrates the importance of Goonhilly Downs as a focus for funerary activity during prehistory.
