What is recorded here
The National Heritage List for England records Five bowl barrows 500m north of Longcross Pond forming part of the Black Bush Plain round barrow cemetery 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.
Five bowl barrows, part of the Black Bush Plain round barrow cemetery, date to the Early Bronze Age (c. 2000–1500 BCE). They are significant as a rare and well-preserved group of funerary monuments reflecting early communal burial practices in southern England.
The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
