Three round barrows on Brackenber Moor is a Bronze Age funerary monument complex located in Westmorland, comprising three distinct circular burial mounds positioned at varying distances south east of Appleby Golf Club. The barrows represent characteristic examples of Bronze Age mortuary practice in the upland regions of northern England, where such monuments were constructed to mark the burial sites of deceased individuals of social standing. The three mounds survive as earthwork features on the moorland landscape, testament to the persistence of these monuments over more than three thousand years. The site's survival and designated status reflect the archaeological significance of Bronze Age funerary practices and their contribution to understanding prehistoric settlement patterns and social organisation in the Pennine uplands.
