What is recorded here
The National Heritage List for England records Bowl barrow 315m ESE of Leech Pool, forming part of a round barrow cemetery on Goonhilly Downs 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 for single inhumation burials. This example is part of a significant cemetery on Goonhilly Downs, reflecting early communal burial practices and social organisation in south-west England.
The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
