Full Description
Blind Low near Chelmorton. Listed as a barrow. [Upper Blindlow Lane and Nether Blindlow Lane - SK 1168]. (1)
Possible duplication of SMR 3824. (2)
The site may well have been postulated on place-name evidence only. The name 'Low' is certainly no positive indicator of the former presence of a barrow. No extant site has ever been seen. (4)
