can anyone recommend a a hedge that can be kept at 3ft. I'm looking to
create a 42ft long boundary hedge,

but will consider a semi-evergreen.

I would like the hedge to be interesting, i.e. with flowers/berries, so not
a Buxus.

Try flowering quince, Chaenomeles. A hedge of mixed cultivars
might look very nice in the spring. Many are thorny, which is
possibly an added advantage.
