Three of a group of eight round barrows in Milston Down Wood is a Bronze Age funerary monument located in Wiltshire, England. The barrows represent a significant concentration of burial mounds dating to the Bronze Age period, when such earthworks served as prestigious markers for elite or high-status individuals within their communities. The eight barrows collectively demonstrate the ritual and burial practices characteristic of Bronze Age societies in the Wessex region, with the earthworks surviving as substantial landscape features in the woodland setting. These monuments are protected as scheduled ancient monuments, reflecting their archaeological importance as evidence of prehistoric settlement patterns and social organisation in the Salisbury Plain area.
