Three bowl barrows on Black Hill, 590m north west of Crowcombe Park Gate, is a Bronze Age funerary monument comprising three round mounds situated on the Quantock Hills in Somerset. The barrows represent typical examples of the burial tradition established during the Bronze Age, when such earthworks were constructed as communal or individual grave markers across much of southern England. The three mounds, preserved as earthen bosses, reflect the importance of this hilltop location as a burial ground during prehistory. The monument is protected as a scheduled ancient monument due to its archaeological significance in understanding Bronze Age burial practices and settlement patterns in the West Country.
