The National Heritage List for England records 'Three Barrows': Group of three round barrows on the southern edge of Middlebere Heath, 240m NNE of Halfway Inn as a scheduled monument. The saved point comes from the centre supplied by the official record. Listing does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
Three round barrows, likely dating to the Early Bronze Age (c. 2000–1500 BCE), represent a common funerary and ceremonial form in Neolithic and Bronze Age Britain. Their grouping suggests a significant ritual landscape, reflecting social organization and burial practices of the period.
