Chelmorton Low rises above Chelmorton village on the limestone plateau, and its top is one of two Bronze Age bowl barrows sitting about 20 m apart. In 1782 a stone cist holding four or five burials was found in the larger mound, and Thomas Bateman dug into the smaller one in 1846, finding flint tools and signs of a cremation. Both mounds were later robbed for stone to build field walls. The summit is on private land.
