This bowl barrow is scheduled as Historic England List ID 1008908, which tells us the monument is 250m north of Hacking Boat House [note this is now a private house]. The 1894 excavation has left a hollow "approximately 9m in diameter and 1.7m deep at the monument's centre and a `tail' or spread of excavated material on the barrow's south west side". The barrow is also recorded as Pastscape Monument No. 44478.
The Journal of Antiquities also includes an entry for the Winckley Lowes I, Near Hurst Green, Lancashire, which includes photographs, directions for finding this grass covered burial mound near the ancient natural ford at Jumbles Rocks, plus a list of reference sources for more information.
