These two barrows in the parish of Tixall, north of Stafford, were
excavated by the Stoke-on-Trent Museum Archaeological Society between
the years 1986 and 1994. They are approximately one kilometre apart with
King's Low still extant but Queen's Low badly damaged by ploughing. The
results are important because little excavation of round barrows has
been carried out in this area of North Staffordshire and these add
considerably to the local corpus of knowledge concerning Early Bronze
Age burial practices and various categories of material culture
including Collared Urns and a single faience bead at each site.
