Bowl Barrows in Derbyshire
Bole Hill has two Bronze Age bowl barrows although the Derbyshire 1:25000 map has it marked as Tumulus! The two barrows are inaccessible and their condition is therefore unknown.

Extensive views in all directions including, as ever in North Derbyshire, Five Wells.

Curiously (and I really should stop using Memory Map!) there is alignment and line of sight from Green Low Ring Cairn, through Bole Hill to Five Wells.

Which Bole Hill is this (ie somewhere near) as there are Bole Hills all over Derbyshire (and probably beyond too!). Cheers, Tim.
