What is recorded here
The National Heritage List for England records Bowl barrow 380m west of the western edge of Hawcombe Copse, Charlton 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 round barrow typically used as a burial monument. This example is significant as part of a broader landscape of prehistoric funerary monuments in southern England.
