Margery Bower

Round Barrow(s)

stubob Apr 21, 2007

This is a nice spot...on a steep sided hillside south of Ashbourne overlooking the river Henmoor. Fine views out over Ashbourne to the hills of Bunster and Thorpe Cloud at the mouth of Dove Dale.

The O.S map marks the mound as a tumulus, although John Barnatt notes it as only a possible example in his ‘Barrow Corpus’. There are no recorded excavations.

Local legend has it that Cromwell’s Parliamentarian troops set up a cannon on the barrow and fired on the town of Ashbourne a little more than a mile away.
Several of the cannon balls are displayed at St Oswald’s church in the town.
