Field Visit (22 November 1990)
NG25NE 29 2571 5671.
There are traces of a low mound on the summit of the Oans. It measures about 6.5m in diameter and has been heavily disturbed by rabbit burrowing. Four small boulders are visible in an arc on the ENE, but there is no other evidence of stones in the body of the mound. In its disturbed condition it is impossible to be certain whether the mound is natural or artificial.
