What is recorded here
The National Heritage List for England records Bowl barrow 610m south east of Beckhampton Buildings, forming part of a round barrow cemetery on Horton 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), is a type of burial mound typically containing a central cist or burial chamber. This example is part of a significant round barrow cemetery on Horton Down, reflecting early communal burial practices and social organisation in southern England.
The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
