Three bowl barrows on the coastal ridges above Bude Bay is a Neolithic or Early Bronze Age funerary monument group located on the cliffs near Bude in north Cornwall. The site comprises three distinct round barrows, which would originally have been prominent burial mounds constructed as earthwork monuments. Such coastal barrow groups served as territorial markers and repositories for the dead during the prehistoric period, reflecting the importance of these elevated positions for both practical visibility and ritual significance. The monument survives as an archaeological record of early bronze-working communities and their mortuary practices in the south-western peninsula.
