Three bowl barrows forming part of Rollestone Field linear round barrow cemetery is a Bronze Age burial monument located in Wiltshire, England. The site comprises three distinct bowl barrows integrated within a linear arrangement of burial mounds that characterises Rollestone Field, a notable barrow cemetery from the second millennium BC. These earthwork monuments are typical of Early to Middle Bronze Age funerary practice, when bowl-shaped mounds were constructed over cremation or inhumation burials and often clustered in cemetery groups. The barrows survive as earthwork features within the landscape, contributing to the archaeological significance of this cemetery as evidence of Bronze Age settlement and ritual activity in the region.
