The closest thing I can think of is the Mercat Cross (J.B. Dickson, Dunedin
3).  This is not a 3-couple Rondel, but it does use the final arch to get
1st cpl to the bottom:

bars 25-32  C1 & C2 Rondel
            meanwhile bars 29-32  C3 set advancing to make an arch which C1
dance under to finish in 3rd pl., while C3 dance up to 2nd pl. (i.e. C1
dance under a double arch, first under C2 arch and then under C3 arch, on
the last 2 bars).

You have me thinking of permutations and combinations to make a "true" 3-cpl
Rondel, although the arches to go across the dance would have to be
modified.  In fact, you may find yourself with several different 3-cpl
Rondels proposed!  ;^)

Do you have one, by any chance?
