Ringham Low
Ringham Low submitted by HarryTwenty : According to the OS map this is the site of what was once Ringham Low, I am stood in the middle of the copse that encloses/enclosed it facing west. As you can see there are no visible features apart from a slight depression that could be a ditch. There is a tumulus shown on the OS map but it is not situated where indicated, it is in the other copse to the right of this one. I have submitted p... (Vote or comment on this photo)

Re: Ringham Low by Anonymous on Wednesday, 16 May 2007
Visited 15th May 2007, no visible remains but majority of cairn is within a walled woodland area and so remains undisturbed by farming activity.

Really the only reason to visit is for the view over Lathkill Dale and beyond to the South, from which the original cairn would have been seen prominently as a landscape feature. The view is pretty much the same as from the well marked footpath so follow the country code kids and keep Mr Farmer happy.

There is now no trace of this chambered barrow. Its site is on private land adjacent to a right of way but the farmer objects to anyone going into his field and damaging the mud, grass and cow sh*t.
