Geocache Description:


This cache is part of a series of caches which are placed at or near village halls and community centres. For details and statistics visit the Village Hall Series website Click here



The Bowman Community Centre gets its name from the Boscombe Bowmen.


The grave of the Bowmen was discovered during the digging of a trench for a new water pipe in May 2003 as building work started on this new estate.

It was soon clear that there was something unusual about the grave. There was not just one skeleton, there were also bones from several other people. It was also clear that while the water trench had cut down one side of the grave, a trench for an electricity cable had also cut across part of the grave. What had survived the electricity and water trenches was quite unexpected.

The Boscombe Bowmen lived at the beginning of the Bronze Age, at a time when great building works were going on at Stonehenge. Many of the stones at Stonehenge were brought from Wales at about this time. Chemical tests on the teeth of the Boscombe Bowmen have shown that they were almost certainly born in Wales.
