Three round barrows east of Smitten Corner is a Bronze Age funerary monument located in Dorset, England. The site comprises three distinct burial mounds characteristic of the Early to Middle Bronze Age period, when such earthwork barrows served as prominent landscape markers for elite or community burials. The barrows retain their characteristic rounded form, though like many such monuments they have been subject to erosion and agricultural activity over subsequent millennia. These structures represent an important record of prehistoric burial practice and settlement patterns in the Dorset landscape.
