The grounds of Capesthorne Hall, the seat of the Bromley Davenport family, also appear to be home to a number of prehistoric mounds. This one which appears on the County Sites and Monuments Record as a scheduled bowl barrow lies to the south-east of the Hall. It consists of a round earthen mound 17m in diameter by 1.5m high, covered by trees and disturbed by rabbits. A second scheduled tumulus 25m in diameter and capped by a pedestal lies to the north-east, with a possible third to the north-west.
