This well formed barrow is located in a private woodland (but visible from a public footpath) in the hills above Marple. It is in excellent condition, despite being covered in trees and is an easy walk from the road. There are stunning views to the west across Marple to Alderley Edge, Manchester and Merseyside. Close by in a field further up the hill lies the cairn known as Ludworth intake which would also have been visible from Brown Low before forestation.
Note: Please note this barrow is located on private land but can be easily viewed from the nearby footpath.
