What is recorded here

The National Heritage List for England records Bowl barrow 200m south of Green Street and 1100m east of the Avebury henge monument, forming part of a round barrow cemetery on Avebury 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 (circa 2000–1500 BCE), is a type of round barrow used primarily for single inhumation burials. This example is part of a significant cemetery associated with the Avebury henge monument, reflecting the complex funerary and ritual landscape of Neolithic and Bronze Age Wiltshire.

The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
