Three round cairns on Wills Neck is a Bronze Age funerary monument located on the Quantock Hills in Somerset. The site consists of three distinct circular stone cairns, constructed as burial mounds typical of Bronze Age mortuary practice in south-western England. These monuments date to the second millennium BC and represent the ritual interment practices of early metal-using communities in the region. The cairns survive as earthwork and stone features on the hilltop, contributing to the archaeological evidence for Bronze Age settlement and territorial organisation across the Quantock uplands.
