Three round barrows 500 yards west of Polkerth is a Bronze Age burial monument located in Cornwall, England. The site comprises three sepulchral mounds typical of funerary practice during the Bronze Age, when such barrows served as prominent landmarks for the interment of individual or family groups. Round barrows of this type, distributed across the Cornish landscape, represent important evidence of settlement patterns and ritual practices during the second and first millennia before the Common Era. The monument's survival demonstrates the archaeological significance of burial sites in understanding prehistoric Cornish communities and their relationship to the wider Bronze Age cultural sphere of Britain.
