Scheduled Monument 13361: Haddon Fields is located on the eastern shelves south of Wye Dale on the limestone plateau of Derbyshire. The monument includes the northernmost of two bowl barrows on Haddon Fields and is a sub-circular mound measuring 20.5m by 13m by c.0.6m high. Formerly, the barrow would have been somewhat higher and more uniformly round. However, it has been ploughed over in the past which has caused some distortion of the original form. It may have been the barrow on Haddon Fields partially excavated by Thomas Bateman in 1860 in which was found a contracted skeleton on a bed of charred wood accompanied by a flint arrowhead, a bone spatula and a bronze awl. This, however, has not been confirmed and it is the location and appearance of the barrow, and its proximity to others of the same kind, which date it to the Bronze Age.
