I pass this barrow each morning and it saddens me somewhat that has no protection from the plough. It is still a noticeable raised feature unlike nearby Lowton barrow.

    I pass this too and find it incomprehensible that Warrington Borough Council have not provided any information nearby in Winwick Village to inform the public.
