What is recorded here
The National Heritage List for England records Two bowl barrows on Great Ovens Hill, 650m and 570m NNW of Sandford Bridge 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, likely dating to the Early Bronze Age (c. 2000–1500 BCE), are burial monuments typically containing inhumation burials. These barrows are significant as they represent one of the main types of round barrow found in England and provide insight into early Bronze Age funerary practices and settlement patterns.
The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
