NH63SE 8 6569 3447 and 6556 3447
'A' (NH 6556 3449) Round cairn 36 - 32 ft. diameter and 1 1/2 - 2ft high.
'B' (NH 6569 3447) Round cairn prominent, 45 -50ft. diameter and 6 ft. high.
Both have been used as dumps for field clearance but seem to be authentic pre-historic cairns.
Information from A A Woodham to OS 9 August 1963.
NH 6569 3447 An irregular shaped mound, turf-covered with stones protruding and some clearance stones on top. It measures c. 15.0m in diameter and is 1.8 m high. No trace of a cist or kerb were seen but it is possibly a cairn.
NH 6556 3449. This feature was partly hidden in a standing crop of oats but from the road it appears to be a natural knoll with stone clearance on top.
