Sharp Low

Sharp Low hasn’t survived as well as some of the other barrows around Tissington, and now it’s becoming a bit of a builders yard with piles of walling stone laying around.
It’s a good vantage point to see the other barrows in the area tho’ with Moat Low,Boars Low and Gorsey Low easy to spot.

Thomas Bateman was here in 1848. His excavtions revealed two crouched skeletons. At the barrow’s centre was a stone, underneath it was a bull’s horn and another unidentified bone.
The western burial also contained pot sherds, animal bones and
an iron knife. The knife probably dates to the Anglian period and a re-use of the barrow.
