What is recorded here
The National Heritage List for England records Bowl barrow 300m south west of the Merry Maidens Stone Circle 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 near the Merry Maidens Stone Circle suggests a broader ceremonial or funerary landscape of significance in late prehistoric Cornwall.
The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
