Three bowl barrows on Frensham Common is a Bronze Age funerary monument comprising three burial mounds located on Frensham Common in Surrey. Bowl barrows of this type are characteristic of the Bronze Age period, typically dating from around the second millennium BCE, and represent a widespread tradition of ritual burial across southern England. The three barrows would originally have formed part of a larger barrow cemetery, a common feature of Bronze Age burial practice where multiple generations were interred in successive mounds. These earthworks, though reduced by erosion and cultivation over subsequent millennia, retain archaeological significance as evidence of prehistoric settlement and mortuary practices in the Surrey Weald region.
