Description
Site visits (12/10/77, 27/02/1978 and 19/06/1978). And documentary research on the alleded barrow. (Longley Archive - See library linked documents.)
Original reference for a barrow reported in Cheshire Notes and Queries, Vol 1, 1881, p.51, item 233. The NGR given is almost certainly inaccurate, with no trace of a mound in 1964.
At SJ 8092 5591 a rise in ground level abuts the brick wall adjacent to the old stables (to the south of the Lawton Arms). This is more likely to be connected with the stables than the remains of a barrow.
