What is recorded here
The National Heritage List for England records Three bowl barrows on Puddletown Heath, 550m south west of Beacon Corner 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 bowl barrows, dating to the Early Bronze Age (c. 2000–1500 BCE), are a type of round barrow typically containing one or more burial chambers. These monuments are significant as they reflect early funerary practices and social organisation in Neolithic and Bronze Age Britain.
The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
