Scheduled Monument: GREEN LOW BOWL BARROW, WEST (1010103)

REASONS FOR DESIGNATION Green Low bowl barrow, west is a sub-circular cairn situated c.150m due west of Green Low chambered tomb in the south-eastern uplands of the limestone plateau of Derbyshire. The monument includes a mound measuring 17m by 15m by c.0.7m high and with a visible kerb of limestone blocks. In 1843, a partial excavation of the barrow was carried out by Thomas Bateman who discovered a cremation burial within a limestone cist and also a secondary inhumation. Both burials were accompanied by flint arrowheads and tools which indicate a Bronze Age date for the barrow. Excluded from the scheduling are the walls crossing the northern edge of the monument though the ground underneath is included.
