Cow Low Round Barrow(s) View all content for Cow Low (2 posts)

The barrow was excavated prior to Thomas Batemans visit in the mid 1840's but details of the finds are sketchy. Bateman's work here unearthed a primary female burial laying on a layer of burnt bones and covered by a limestone slab. Above this were the remains of five more burials and above these a crouched skeleton of a female accompanied by two jet necklaces contained within a cist. Again on top within another cist were two more crouched burials along with a food vessel. On top of this cist was a cremation burial. A later Anglo-Saxon burial with a silver necklace was also recovered from the mound. J.Barnatt's Barrow Corpus.
