Three round barrows W of Bopeep chalk pit is a Bronze Age funerary monument located in Sussex, England. The three barrows form part of the dispersed barrow landscape characteristic of the South Downs during the second and first millennia BC, representing prehistoric burial practices and settlement patterns of Bronze Age communities. These earthwork monuments, though subject to some degradation from historical quarrying activity in the vicinity, retain archaeological significance as examples of the burial mound tradition practised across southern England during this period.
