Map showing the location of Brown Low within Greater Manchester.
Brown Low is a bowl barrow most likely dating to the Bronze Age. An earth and stone mound survives east of Marple, Greater Manchester (grid reference SJ98829092). It is listed as a Scheduled Ancient Monument.[1][2] The mound was partially excavated by the Rev William Marriott in 1809,[3]:374–391 who discovered fragments of burnt stones and cremated bones, as well as a preserved acorn.[1] Marriott also describes the finding of a funerary urn in an adjacent barrow during an unauthorised excavation.[3]:377,383 Brown Low is located in private land, just east of a public footpath running off Sandy Lane.[4][5]
