Bronze Age bowl barrow situated on the north west end of Eldon Hill with fine views in all directions including Mam Tor and Gautries Hill. The barrow is 16x15m and 1.5m high, with a cairn on top. Excavated by Bateman and others with numerous skeletons and artefacts found: perforated bone, burnt flint, decorated pottery, horse bone, quartz pebbles and a jet bead. See Magic 23265.
Access from Eldon Lane (SK11467978) in Old Dam just north of Peak Forest. Parking easy. Eldon Lane ends in open country (right to roam). Keep the wall to the left past the lovely woods and straight up the hill, passing Eldon Hole, Derbyshire's largest pothole at 50m.
