Three bowl barrows on Bloxworth Down, 800m west of Botany Bay Barn is a Bronze Age funerary monument located in Dorset. The site comprises three distinct bowl barrows, the most common form of burial mound characteristic of the Bronze Age period. These earthworks represent the funerary practices of prehistoric communities in the Dorset landscape and contribute to the substantial barrow cemetery evidence found across Bloxworth Down. The barrows remain as surviving examples of Bronze Age monumental architecture in the region, though their condition reflects the effects of agricultural use and natural processes over millennia.
