St Ann's Well (Buxton)
Date Added: 3rd Apr 2016
Site Type: Holy Well or Sacred Spring
Country: England (Derbyshire)
Visited: Yes
St Ann's Well (Buxton) submitted by TimPrevett on 1st Jun 2008. St Ann's well opposite The Crescent and at the bottom of The Slopes. Very easy to find. Having visited Buxton Museum first, and enquired of the well I was told "you might have to wait for people filling up bottles". I smiled scoffingly. A very gentle 5 minute walk downhill, and I found the well - and in the 10 minutes I was there photographing the site, over 20 people stopped to either drink the water directly, splash their faces, or fill up bottles! One woman arriving in her car said she usuall...

Jodrell Bank submitted by Vicky on 20th Sep 2001. Jodrell Bank II barrow
Located at SJ794703 (Landranger 118/Explorer 268) this very (very) shallow hump (in profile to the left of the image) is one of originally 6 Bronze Age barrows in a barrow cemetery located in the grounds of Jodrell Bank Farm and Jodrell Hall (now Terra Nova School) in Cheshire.

Brock Low submitted by vicky on 3rd Feb 2002. Brock Low tumulus, Rainow, Nr Macclesfield, Cheshire GR:SJ 971749
Located in the Parish of Rainow in the hills above Macclesfield, Brock Low, a huge mound which is almost certainly natural, but may have been used as a Bronze Age burial site. Located in a field to the right of Lamin Load farm and overlooking Lamaload Reservoir, the tumulus was described by a local antiquarian in the 19th century when it was reportedly '465ft in circumference and 24ft high'. A survey in 1988 revealed that muc...

Yearnslow submitted by Vicky on 15th Dec 2001. Yearnslow, Rainow, near Macclesfield, Cheshire GR: SJ96457695
This interesting bowl-shaped mound (on the horizon in the centre of the picture) is situated on a knoll at 1175ft above sea level close to Yearnslow Farm. It was reputedly opened by some Derbyshire explorers in the 19th when some Roman coins, glass beads, and bones were found in it. Today the mound which is around 19m in diameter and just over one metre in height, is covered by ruined dry-stone walls.

Log Text: this seems to be a round barrow that has been hollowed out, due to ploughing and weathering.
next to the hollowed out barrow is a tall brick structure. I have found that when walking up to Yearnslow Barrow, there is also two other clear monuments that can be seen .. such as Black Rock Farm, and Brock Low.
The HER (#1600) classifies this site as a bronze age round barrow, and therefore is scheduled monument (#22567). Roman artefacts that have been recovered from this site, which includes; Roman coins, glass beads and bones.
access is difficult by car, there is a long footpath which runs past the barrow
