BrownEdger visited on 5th May 2014 - their rating: Cond: 1 Amb: 2 Access: 5 Descheduled rather than unscheduled. Calton Moor Barrow is probably seen by more people each day than any other in Staffordshire, but it is virtually destroyed. Of the four quadrants only one partially survives and that's badly plough damaged. Main reason for descheduling though is the track cutting through the centre which Carrington reported.

Calton Moor Barrow has been descheduled (August 1992).

Carrington (1851) reported that the centre of the barrow had had a cattle driving road driven through it and the mound was badly damaged by ploughing.

John Barnatt surveyed the Barrow (1987) in his survey of peakland barrows. Reported that three of the four quadrants of the barrow are completely ploughed out. The 'barrow' shown in the photo above is all that remains of the North-West quadrant and that has been ploughed down and spread giving it an elongated appearance. Four field boundary walls also cross the site.
