[SK 27689686] Walders Low [GT] (site of) [T.I.] (1)

Barrow "Walder's Low"; the cairn now surmounting the mound was
built by Mr. Macro Wilson. (2)

'Walders Low' is a large artificial mound of earth and stone
surmounted by a stone obelisk (referred to as a cairn by
Authority 2). Numerous mutilations have been caused by stone
robbing but the remains (3.0 metres high) are still suggestive of
a barrow. Mr.G.Shaw who has farmed the adjacent land for
sixty years stated that the feature has remained unaltered in
his memory. G.P's AO.61, 171, 6 & 7 show the SW and SE aspects
respectively.

A 25" survey has been made. (3)

Survey of 5.7.61, unchanged. (4)
