Three bowl barrows on Ramsdean Down is a Bronze Age funerary monument located in Hampshire. The site comprises three distinct bowl barrows, which are circular earthworks characteristic of Bronze Age burial practices in southern Britain, typically dating to the period between approximately 2200 and 1500 BCE. Bowl barrows of this type functioned as burial mounds for elite or important community members, and their presence on the Hampshire chalk downland reflects the pattern of Bronze Age settlement and ritual activity across the region. The monument survives as an archaeological record of prehistoric funerary customs and landscape use in southern England.
