What is recorded here
The National Heritage List for England records Bowl barrow 800m NNE of Whatcombe House, forming part of the round barrow cemetery on the south western part of Black Down 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.
Bowl barrow, dating to the Early Bronze Age (c. 2000–1500 BCE), and part of a round barrow cemetery. These monuments are significant as they represent some of the earliest ceremonial and funerary earthworks in southern Britain, reflecting early social organisation and burial practices.
The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
