Round Barrow in Derbyshire
"A mutilated barrow called Crake Low was examined in 1848 when a
cremation and an injumation were found in a rough cist with a food
vessel of Manby's Type 4.
Two skeletons and a "very small plain vase" was found in opening a
stone quarry near the edge of the mound in 1850."
