Overview

History & significance

Fancy barrow on Race Plain is a Bronze Age burial mound located in Hampshire, England. The barrow represents a funerary monument typical of the Bronze Age period, when such earthworks served as prominent landmarks for the interment of the dead and their associated grave goods. The site's designation as a scheduled monument reflects its archaeological importance as evidence of prehistoric settlement patterns and burial practices in the region. Like many barrows on the Hampshire chalklands, it would have originally been more prominent than its current form suggests, having been subject to centuries of ploughing and natural erosion.
