What is recorded here
The National Heritage List for England records Round barrows on Ridgeway 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.
Round barrows on Ridgeway are Neolithic burial mounds, dating to approximately 2500–2000 BCE. They are significant as part of a wider network of prehistoric monuments along the Icknield Way, reflecting early ceremonial and funerary practices in southern England.
The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
