What is recorded here
The National Heritage List for England records Four bowl barrows at the eastern end of Waterston Ridge, 490m south west and 500m south east of Ridge Farm 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.
Four bowl barrows, dating to the Early Bronze Age (c. 2000–1500 BCE), are a type of round barrow typically used as burial mounds. These barrows are significant as they represent early communal burial practices and provide insight into prehistoric funerary customs in the region.
The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
