Two bowl barrows in Watchmoor Wood 270m and 290m south west of Ashley Lodge

The National Heritage List for England records Two bowl barrows in Watchmoor Wood 270m and 290m south west of Ashley Lodge 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 some of the earliest field evidence of organized funerary practice in the British Isles.
