Just had (on reading the preview) a stunning and humbling thought - perhaps it is one Round Barrow with two Bowl Barrows added

The website http://www.ancientmonuments.info seems a little ambivalent about this site. It claims it is the site of three Bowl Barrows even though it starts out by saying that it is a probable Bronze Age Round Barrow and contradicts itself by saying it is the recorded location of three round barrows and then contradicts itself yet again by saying only one was visible from aerial photography and (wait for it!) contradicts itself for the final time saying the other two have been recorded in field visits - no confusion there then - are you still with me? - wake up at the back!
Just the sort of conundrum your correspondent thrives on. So what is the answer. It is not a single Round Barrow - hence as expected it is not mentioned in Witts fine tome. Having nipped on to the site when no-one was looking my inspection reveals that there are probably three Bowl Barrows in close proximity. They do not seem to be quite in line. The only earthworks seem to be well silted and such evidence as might be there (crop marks etc) suggest that those marks are almost circular indicating they were formed when the three bowl barrows were built (as one would expect) - on the other hand those earthworks could be from 19th century excavations - oh I don't know - best you go see for your self - it is easy to find and quite peaceful and picturesque ......... then you can check me out
