What is recorded here
The National Heritage List for England records King's Barrow on King Tor, Hookney 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.
Neolithic chambered long barrow; dates to the early to middle Neolithic period (circa 3700–3000 BCE). It is significant as part of a rare group of monumental tombs in the south-west of England, reflecting early communal burial practices and social organisation.
