Whitelow Cairn(s) View all content for Whitelow

Although situated on the top of Whitelow Hill (I'd have thought there was a clue there), this large cairn was only re-discovered in 1960. Sadly, that seems indicative of the sorry state of affairs with regard to the recording of Lancashire's prehistoric sites which seems to continue to this day. The cairn was excavated between 1960 and 1962, finding eight cremation burials, four within urns, dating from the early to middle Bronze Age.
