Three bowl barrows on the southern edge of Luxenborough Plantation is a Neolithic or Bronze Age funerary monument located in Wiltshire. The site consists of three round barrows of the bowl type, a common form of burial mound constructed during the later prehistoric period to cover inhumations and cremations. Such monuments are characteristic of the period from around 3000 to 1500 BCE and represent significant expressions of burial practice and social organisation among prehistoric communities. The barrows' location within the plantation landscape reflects the survival of these monuments within managed woodland, a setting that has aided their preservation into the modern period.
