The '''River Brun''' is a river in the [[Pennines]] in eastern [[Lancashire]].<br />
<br />
==Course==<br />
The Brun rises at the confluence of Hurstwood Brook (draining Wether Edge, Hameldon and supplying the Hurstwood Reservoir) and Rock Water at Foxstones Bridge near the village of [[Hurstwood]]. From here, the new river runs northwest towards the town of [[Burnley]].<br />
<br />
The river passes through the artificial Rowley Lake near Rowley Hall and collects Swinden Water and the [[River Don, Lancashire|River Don]], the latter at Netherwood Bridge.<br />
<br />
In Burnley, the Brun travels through Queen's Park and Thompson Park before moving through the town centre, where it is occasionally culverted.<br />
<br />
The Brun joins the [[River Calder, Lancashire|River Calder]] close to a roundabout on Active Way in Burnley.<br />
<br />
==Historical interest==<br />
The river or the moorland around it is one of the major candidates for the site of the Battle of [[Brunanburh]] in 921, the bloodiest battle of its era and a decisive victory for King Æthelstan but whose location is now forgotten.<br />
<br />
In 1856 Thomas T Wilkinson, a master at Burnley Grammar School and antiquary, published a paper suggesting the moors above [[Burnley]] as the site of the battle, noting that the town stands on the River Brun.<ref>{{Citation|last=Wilkinson|first=Thomas T|year=1857|title=Transactions of the Historic Society of Lancashire and Cheshire, Volume 9|pages=21–41}}</ref> Local folklore told of a great battle at [[Saxifield]] during the Heptarchy, re-enforced by the occasional discovery of apparently human bones and iron arrowheads. The village of [[Worsthorne]] also had a tradition that the Danes constructed defences when a battle was fought on the moor that bares the same name, and that five kings were buried under tumuli<ref>{{cite PastScape|mnumber=45325|mname=Monument No. 45325|accessdate=2012-05-15}}</ref> apparent in the area.<br />
<br />
Amongst other things, Wilkinson showed that the [[Heasandford]] area of Burnley is named for a ford of the [[River Brun]] on an ancient [[Pennines|trans-pennine]] route known locally as the long causeway, but in part as the Danes road; the idea of a trans-Pennine route here is strengthened by the discovery of the [[Cuerdale#Cuerdale Hoard|Cuerdale Hoard]] at the western end of the route, a stathe on the [[River Ribble]]<br />
