What is recorded here

The National Heritage List for England records Two bowl barrows, one 220m east of Lower Longbeak and the other 320m east of Higher Longbeak 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 barrows, dating to the Early Bronze Age (circa 2000–1500 BCE), are burial monuments typically consisting of a circular or oval mound of earth and stone. These barrows are significant as they represent some of the earliest field evidence of organized burial practices and social structure in prehistoric Britain.
