Knightslow Wood

KnightsLow Wood Originally uploaded by thatwhichfalls Round Barrow in Cheshire According to the County Sites and Monuments Record, Knights Low Wood in the care of the National Trust on the Lyme Estate, is a barrow hot spot, home to a number of Bronze Age mounds. This third mound may be one of three possible barrows discussed by Marriott in his Antiquities of Lyme in 1810:‘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 be composed for small barrows or sepulchres.’ from
