Hawks Low is a geographical feature, a hill about 1.5 miles (2.4 km) north-west of the village of Parwich, and about 6 miles (10 km) north of Ashbourne, in Derbyshire, England. It is in the White Peak, an area of carboniferous limestone in the Peak District. The Tissington Trail is nearby.[1][2]
Its elevation is 382 metres (1,253 ft), and its prominence is 35 metres (115 ft). There is a triangulation pillar at the summit.[1][3]
To the south, near the summit, is a Bronze Age bowl barrow. It measures 25 by 23 metres (82 by 75 ft) and is about 2 metres (6 ft 7 in) high. There is a rock-cut ditch, width about 5 metres (16 ft). Thomas Bateman excavated part of the barrow in 1843; human and animal bones were found, also potsherds and flint objects.[4]
