Would love to know if this barrow was ever investigated.
It is in the most scenic location in the Derbyshire Peak with fantastic views all around, firstly the bird's eye view into Edale at your feet cannot be matched, extensive views of Kinder plateau and over to Mam Tor and then the limestone hillls to the south.
