Three Bowl Barrows is a Neolithic or Bronze Age funerary monument situated at Barrowfields in Cornwall, England. The site comprises three round barrows that formed part of a larger cemetery of burial mounds, representing an important concentration of prehistoric funerary activity. The barrows are bowl-shaped in form, characteristic of Bronze Age burial monuments, and their survival within what was once a more extensive barrow field demonstrates the significance of this location as a burial ground during the later prehistoric period. The site's designation reflects its archaeological importance as evidence of ritual practices and settlement patterns in prehistoric Cornwall.
