What is recorded here
The National Heritage List for England records Two bowl barrows on Massingham Common: 900m and 930m south west of Field Barn 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 cremated remains. These barrows are significant as they represent some of the earliest field evidence of organized burial practices and social structure in the British Isles.
The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
