What is recorded here
The National Heritage List for England records Bell barrow in Highfield Plantation and two bowl barrows immediately north west of Forty Acre Plantation 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.
Bell barrow and bowl barrows dating to the Early Bronze Age (c. 2000–1500 BCE), these burial mounds are significant as part of a broader landscape of prehistoric funerary monuments, reflecting early ceremonial and burial practices in the region.
The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
