Round Barrow(s) in Cumbria
One of two round barrows on the shore side of Loweswater.
It is quite close to the famous bothy, and is quite easy to walk past without realising what it is. There is a lovely old oak tree growing out the top of it. It is 11M x 7M and according to the National Trust its date range is Palaeolithic to late Bronze age.
