What is recorded here
The National Heritage List for England records Two bowl barrows 570m south west of Polkerth forming part of a larger round barrow cemetery on Goonhilly Downs 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 (c. 2000–1500 BCE), are burial monuments typically consisting of a mound of earth and stones. These barrows are part of a significant round barrow cemetery on Goonhilly Downs, reflecting early funerary practices and the landscape's long-standing ceremonial use in south-west Britain.
The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
