Brown Low is a bowl barrow dating to the Bronze Age, located east of Marple in Greater Manchester, England [1]. The earth and stone mound survives as a Scheduled Ancient Monument [1]. It was partially excavated in 1809 by Rev William Marriott, who discovered fragments of burnt stones, cremated bones, and a preserved acorn [1]. Marriott also documented the discovery of a funerary urn in an adjacent barrow during an unauthorized excavation [1]. The site sits on private land just east of a public footpath running off Sandy Lane [1].
