The strangest of the group has no grass covering, instead a concrete floor from some modern construction, despite it's modern appearance it really is a bronze age barrow. Further on is the smallest barrow about 3ft tall then it's down and up a small valley to the trig point and a great view marred slightly by three big quarries.
Finding them: A small lane heads south off the A52 to the little village of Wooton, after passing Weaver farm a small car park appears on the right , a footpath goes to the trig point 371m high. This is the last Peak Hill before descending onto the Staffordshire plain (though it's outside the national park).
