Round Loaf, Bronze Age burial mound in Anglezarke, England
The Round Loaf barrow consists of an oval-shaped earthen mound measuring 73 meters from north to south and 66 meters from east to west.
Built between 2400 and 1500 BC during the Late Neolithic to Late Bronze Age period, this barrow was designated as a scheduled monument in March 1954.
The burial mound reflects prehistoric funeral practices and belongs to a network of 10,000 similar structures documented across lowland Britain.
Located at coordinates 53.6592, -2.54927, the mound stands between 3.6 and 5.5 meters high and features a 2-meter protective boundary around its perimeter.
Archaeological deposits within the mound remain untouched, as no excavations have taken place despite flint discoveries at the eroded summit.
