Scheduled monument

What is recorded here

The National Heritage List for England records Bowl barrow 290m north east of the junction of Bokerley Dyke and a linear earthwork on Martin 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.
A bowl barrow is a type of Neolithic or Bronze Age burial mound, typically dating to between 3000 and 800 BC, and represents an early form of ceremonial or funerary earthwork. While not a fairy fort in the traditional sense, such mounds were sometimes later associated with folklore involving fairies or other supernatural beings.

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