Charles Head submitted by astronomer on 30th Sep 2011. Charles Head tumulus is on private land owned by Spring Bank Farm. Following unauthorized digging some years ago and the removal of artifacts, the present landowner expressly forbids access.
We were kindly granted access and permission to take photographs only because of personal relationships with nearby landowners.
The tumulus is approximately 1m high and 12m in diameter and is crossed, E-W, by a dilapidated stone wall.

Blue Boar Farm

Blue Boar Farm submitted by Vicky on 15th Dec 2001. Blue Boar Farm Barrow, Rainow, near Macclesfield, Cheshire GR: SJ970763
This scheduled conical mound stands in a field opposite Blue Boar Farm and was first mentioned in the 19th century. Standing on a naturally level platform on the ridge top, this tumulus was originally around 20m in diameter but because of ploughing it is now closer to 31m by 26m. It was excavated in 1972, but sadly there are no records as to what, if anything, was found.

Nab Head (Cheshire) submitted by PaulM on 30th Aug 2001. NAB HEAD ROUND BARROW
NGR: SJ94017884 (Landranger map 118)
Located on top of Nab Head (hence the trig point) overlooking the east Cheshire town of Bollington. The now vandalised barrow has 360 degree views across the Cheshire Plain to the Berwyn and Clwydian Hills, across south Manchester to Lancashire and east to the foothills of the Pennines taking in Windgather Rocks, Macclesfield Forest and Croker Hill.
A visit is highly recommended.

Long Low
Date Added: 26th Sep 2015
Site Type: Long Barrow
Country: England (Staffordshire)
Visited: Would like to visit
Long Low submitted by TimPrevett on 30th Jul 2006. Looking along Long Low to the SSW. Two interesting things about Long Low: 1) It is the only long barrow in Staffordshire, and 2) It has rounded ends, which are either described as two round barrows, or as rounded terminals. This is very reminiscent of the Broadmayne Bank Barrow in Dorset. Drystone walling intersects it in several places, and I styal is incorporated into one of the western side walls.

The Battle Stone (Ilam)
Date Added: 26th Sep 2015
Site Type: Ancient Cross
Country: England (Staffordshire)
Visited: Would like to visit
The Battle Stone (Ilam) submitted by TimPrevett on 30th Jul 2006. The Battle Stone - remains of an 11th Century Cross in the grounds of Ilam Hall. For most straightforward access, leave the church with the two Saxon Crosses, left to the river, then before the river turn right for a pleasant walk along its side. The cross is on the right hand side after about 10 minutes walking, as a wide meadow arcs to the left. The cross was not discovered until 1840, and the name, one must suppose, is down to the imagination of those who discovered it.
