What is recorded here
The National Heritage List for England records Two bowl barrows on Black Down immediately east of the Hardy Monument 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.
Two bowl barrows, dating to the Early Bronze Age, are a type of round barrow typically used as burial mounds. These barrows are significant as they represent some of the earliest ceremonial and funerary earthworks in the British landscape.
The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
