Directions: A little way further south west along the B5032 from Row Low Barrow. We parked outside a posh house opposite the Barrow called Foxgloves. This was a far from ideal place to stop but it was the only place near – I had to be quick. I crossed the road and accessed the field via the public footpath sign – near the bus stop. A grass covered mound patrolled by sheep. Worth a quick look when in the area. E.H. state: ‘An earthen mound up to 1.8m high with max dimensions of 39m x 33m. The monument is not known to have been excavated’. |

This is probably the barrow mentioned in the list of lows in Plot. ";and that other in a field near the left hand the way, as you pass between Mathfield and Ellaston near Colwich-Common, without a name; and another larger over against it, at the other end of the common, which they call Row-Low." Source: "The Natural History of Stafford-shire" Plot, R. 1686 p.404 paragraph 21. So Calwich Low and Row Low both have names attached so the barrow near The Boxes is probably the one 'without a name'. |
