Monument record 1628/1/1 - Bowl barrow in Knightslow wood

<1> Marriott W, 1810, The Antiquities of Lyme and its Vicinity, /238-9 (Book). SCH3026.

One of a group of three round barrows. Described in 1810 as '3 small tumuli, just beyond the wall which forms the partition of the calf-croft from the Knight's Low. These are not particularly striking, yet have character enough in them to warrant the supposition that they may have been composed for small barrows or sepulchres'.

These mounds could not be located in 1978. Possibly natural features.
