Round Barrow(s) in Cheshire
I originally located the site of this barrow via www.pastscape.org and living only 5mins away had to check it out. The given co-ordinates are right by the roadside and it appears that agriculture and road construction have completely destroyed any surface features. Past excavations revealed evidence of cremations and a bronze pin.
