The Three bowl barrows on Northport Heath, situated northeast of Alpha Farm in Dorset, are a Bronze Age funerary monument consisting of three distinct mounds. These barrows represent the burial practices of the early to middle Bronze Age period, when such earthen mounds were constructed to mark the graves of significant individuals or community members. The three separate bowl-shaped mounds are characteristic of the barrow form prevalent across Dorset during the second millennium before the present era. These monuments survive as physical evidence of prehistoric settlement patterns and mortuary ritual in the Dorset landscape.
