This is a significant local high point and it is not surprising to find it chosen in the Late Bronze Age as the site of a funeral mound in the form of a bowl barrow. This was perpetuated in the 20th century by installing a WWI war memorial cross. The barrow is a Scheduled Monument. Could the name 'Burrow Hill' be a corruption of 'Barrow Hill'?
