Round Barrow in Greater Manchester (Stockport)
This cairn is marked on the OS Map at GR: SJ98989131 and is only 430m north-north-east of Brown Low. It is crossed by a drystone wall and can be viewed from the nearby footpath. The cairn has been quarried exposing the stone core - to the west of the wall it looks more like a trench but to the east it is more of a crater. Extensive views look across to the hills in the east and west down to Brown Low, which would have been visible from here before forestation.
Note: Please note this barrow is located on private land but can be easily viewed from the nearby public footpath.
