Three bowl barrows in Colerne Park, 450m north of Keeper's Cottage is a Bronze Age funerary monument comprising three round burial mounds located in Wiltshire. These barrows represent the characteristic burial practice of the Bronze Age period, when prominent individuals and their communities were interred beneath earthen mounds of varying sizes. The three distinct bowls form part of the broader landscape of prehistoric ceremonial and burial sites that characterise the Wiltshire downlands, an area particularly rich in such monuments from the second millennium before the common era. The barrows remain substantially intact as earthwork features, preserving evidence of Bronze Age mortuary practice and territorial organisation.
