MEM25147 - Late prehistoric cairns and field boundaries southwest of Oareford (Monument)

At least three possible cairns and two field boundaries are visible as earthworks on aerial photographs to the southwest of Oareford. The earthworks are centred at SS 80353 46004. The possible cairns are formed of small sub-circular mounds, one with a depression in the centre of its surface. The field boundaries, which may be associated with them are formed of narrow linear banks, oriented north-south. These features were recorded from EH Reconnaissance aerial photographs of 2012.
