What is recorded here

The National Heritage List for England records Bowl barrow, the north westernmost barrow of a group of six bowl barrows, forming part of a linear round barrow cemetery on Rookery Hill 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 barrow, part of a linear round barrow cemetery dating to the Early Bronze Age (c. 2000–1500 BCE), represents a significant burial tradition associated with communal funerary practices. Its inclusion in a group of six barrows highlights the ceremonial and social importance of such cemeteries in prehistoric Britain.
