Little Moreton Hall
Little Moreton Hall submitted by TimPrevett : The possible barrow in the grounds of the magnificent Tudor building of Little Moreton Hall. Some of the mound is in lower left hand side, fenced off at this time due to erosion. (Vote or comment on this photo)
Round Barrow in Cheshire

One of two mounds located in the grounds of Little Moreton Hall in Cheshire. It is postulated that this mound is a barrow but could equally be a more recent landscaped mound. However Jodrell Hall nearby contains barrows that have been incorporated into the gardens as at Jodrell Hall in Cheshire.

Note: David Dimbleby's "How we built Britain" tonight visits Little Moreton Hall (among others), home to these two possible round barrows. BBC1 9.30 to 10.30pm BST.

Just to set things straight. The two mounds in the grounds of Little Moreton Hall are 18th century viewpoints built by the past occupants of the house to get a better view of there house. I dont have all the info, but the NT guides at the house seemed to know quite a bit about them, they must have been asked a lot !

These mounds are often features in Tudor gardens ; Boscobel House
http://www.virtual-shropshire.co.uk/about/boscobel-house.html
, not far from Telford has one, still with a little arbour on top; and Whittington Castle
http://www.btinternet.com/~whittington.castle/
W from Oswestry also has a mound that would also have been similarly used / constructed.

    Round barrows were also adapted into landscaping at many sites particularly in Cheshire. Most of the stately homes in the area have barrows in their grounds - Swettenham Hall, Astle Hall, Birtles Hall, Capesthorne Hall, Jodrell Hall (now Terra Nova School). At Jodrell Hall the builders actually used the round barrow as a feature in the garden to look out on from the hall, but when they got fed up with it they destroyed the barrow! At Capesthorne Hall they built a pedastal on top of one. So although many garden mounds were built in the Tudor period there are many others which were reused round barrows.

    Cheers
