Three round barrows 500 yards west of Polkerth is a Bronze Age burial monument located in Cornwall. The site comprises three circular earthen mounds typical of funerary structures from the Bronze Age period, when such barrows served as communal or individual burial places for prominent members of society. The barrows' survival in the landscape reflects the archaeological importance of Cornwall's Bronze Age burial record, which provides evidence of settlement patterns and social organisation during the second and early first millennia before Christ. The monument's official listing recognises its significance as part of the broader distribution of Bronze Age ceremonial and funerary sites across the Cornish countryside.
