This site is a Bronze Age round barrow located in a cul-de-sac on a knoll to the north of Beech Hall school.
As at Woodhouse End, the site was used as a dug out by the Home Guard during the Second World War. In 1973 an investigation of a spoil heap from one of their trenches revealed nineteen small fragments of pottery and a small quantity of calcinated human bones. The sherds were described as being red on the outside and black in the interior, some of which were decorated with dots and believed to be the remains of a Collared urn.
Access
This barrow can be found in the cul-de-sac of Lavenham Close on the Tytherington Estate, to the rear of Beech Hall School.
