What is recorded here
The National Heritage List for England records Bowl barrow 120m north-west of the footbridge: one of three round barrows on Shelley Common 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), is a type of round barrow typically used as a single burial monument. Its presence on Shelley Common reflects the significance of the area for early ceremonial and funerary practices in southern Britain.
