Round barrows on Sheep Down

The National Heritage List for England records Round barrows on Sheep Down 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 Sheep Down are Bronze Age burial mounds, typically dating to between 2000 and 800 BCE. They are significant as they represent an important phase of prehistoric funerary practice and social organisation in Britain.
