Date Added: 25th Sep 2015
Site Type: Round Barrow(s)
Country: England (Cheshire)
Visited: Would like to visit
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.

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.

Charles Head
Date Added: 25th Sep 2015
Site Type: Round Barrow(s)
Country: England (Cheshire)
Visited: Would like to visit
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.

Yearnslow submitted by Vicky on 15th Dec 2001. Yearnslow, Rainow, near Macclesfield, Cheshire GR: SJ96457695
This interesting bowl-shaped mound (on the horizon in the centre of the picture) is situated on a knoll at 1175ft above sea level close to Yearnslow Farm. It was reputedly opened by some Derbyshire explorers in the 19th when some Roman coins, glass beads, and bones were found in it. Today the mound which is around 19m in diameter and just over one metre in height, is covered by ruined dry-stone walls.

Hurst Low
Date Added: 12th Aug 2014
Site Type: Round Barrow(s)
Country: England (Staffordshire)
Visited: Couldn't find on 7th Apr 2013
Hurst Low submitted by twentytrees on 9th Sep 2006. Marked as Tumuli on the map but this may refer to nearby Grindon Moor barrow. There appears to be numerous mounds in a line (lined up on nearby Butterton church spire?) but they are in a much denunded state, so difficult to be sure. Not scheduled.

Log Text: Saw a huge misshapen mound in the field containing Hurst Low but that looked more like a spoil heap or something. Large agricultural building has been erected nearby in same field too. Whole area very messy with vehicles parked in the field and bits of rusty agricultural equipment lain about. Failed to I.D. the barrow.

Cock Low (Leek) submitted by astronomer on 8th Mar 2015. Thanks to Leek historians, Margaret and Colin Bowyer, who kindly supplied an image of an 1838 map of Leek, it might be possible to shed some more light on Cock Low. The map clearly shows a prominent mound near what is now the playing fields at Spring Gardens. In her 1999 book, 'Leek's Forgotten Centuries', E.A Biddulph states that the burial mound, 18ft high and 120ft wide was on part of the property owned by a Mrs Watt, standing between Waterloo Rd, Messr's Broster's Mill and Spring Gardens.

Elkstone Barrow 2
Date Added: 7th Sep 2014
Site Type: Round Barrow(s)
Country: England (Staffordshire)
Visited: Yes on 7th Sep 2014. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 3 Access 4
Log Text: Visible as a low, spread mound a short distance to the South of Elkstone I. The surface is fairly rough, like much of the field. The field drops away to the South of the barrow. Can be seen from Breech Road for a clearer view in profile.
Elkstone III is to the South-West of this barrow - the long quarry trench running North-South along the field has truncated its Western quadrants.
