Three round barrows on Brackenber Moor is a Bronze Age funerary monument comprising three earthwork mounds located on upland moorland in Westmorland. The barrows, positioned at varying distances south east of Appleby Golf Club, represent evidence of burial practice during the second millennium BC. Such monuments were typically constructed to contain cremated or inhumed remains and often served as territorial markers within the prehistoric landscape. The survival of three examples in close association on this moorland location reflects the ritual significance of elevated terrain for burial activities during the Bronze Age period.
