Round Barrow(s) in Derbyshire
Well preserved although dug out round barrow with panoramic views over Chapel en le Frith and onward to Kinder Scout (Kinder End Bowl Barrow possibly visible). Very prominent with its sister barrow Lady Low on the horizon west of the Bull Ring at Dove Holes. Access 1 since its on farmers land albeit only 100yds from the road. The south side is a flat plateau whereas on the north the land falls away very sharply making the barrow very prominent.
Referred to in Bateman's Ten Years Digging - see ref where he describes digging in 29/08/1846 and finding a number of cist burials and others.
