Three bowl barrows forming part of Bratley Plain round barrow cemetery is a Bronze Age burial monument located in Hampshire, England. The site consists of three distinct bowl-shaped burial mounds characteristic of the round barrow tradition that flourished during the Bronze Age, representing an important funerary landscape from this period. Bowl barrows are among the simplest forms of round barrow, comprising a circular mound of earth and stone with a central burial deposit, and their clustering within a cemetery indicates repeated use of the location for interment over an extended timespan. The barrows contribute to the archaeological significance of Bratley Plain as a wider barrow cemetery, demonstrating the Bronze Age settlement and burial patterns of the Hampshire landscape.
