Eyam Moor Barrow
Eyam Moor Barrow submitted by LivingRocks : The badly mutilated Eyam Barrow. The Ministry of Works sign on the barrow is a good indicator when searching the moor for the elusive Wet Withens Stone Circle. (Vote or comment on this photo)
Long Barrow in Derbyshire. A badly mutilated large cairn, 27.5m x 17.5m by 1.1m in height, situated only 30m from Wet Withins Circle. The original type of the cairn cannot be discerned due to the extensive disturbance but it may have been a long barrow, or alternatively may be the result of the merging of two or more funerary cairns.

Eyam Moor Barrow is in a poor condition, the result of it being robbed in 1759 by workmen constructing the turnpike road to Hathersage.
