What is recorded here
The National Heritage List for England records The Rainbarrows, a group of three bowl barrows on Duddle Heath 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 typically funerary monuments containing burials. The Rainbarrows are significant as part of a wider pattern of barrow groups used for ceremonial or burial purposes in prehistoric Britain.
The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
