Gratton Hill has three scheduled bowl barrows located at its summit: 13527, 13528 and 13529. Their condition is not good making it difficult to discern each - there appear to be more than three.
Excellent views in all directions including Narrowdale Hill, Wolfscote Hill, Ecton Hill and Wetton Hill, all of which have barrows at their summit, and north into the Upper Manifold Valley and beyond to Five Wells.
Park at Alstonefield as for Pea Low.
