Round Barrows in Cheshire
Henbury once boasted a number of prehistoric tumuli, but today only one at Bearhurst Farm survives. Three other mounds originally stood at south of Lower Pexhill but were destroyed due to mineral extraction. One was excavated in 1967 by D. Bethell revealing five cremations and a horizontal plank of carbonised wood at the centre.
