Notes
HER:
A concentration of over 50 clearance heaps, spread over an area of approximately 3.6 hectares in an area of much prehistoric activity at the southern end of Wigford Down. The clearance cairns comprise mounds of stones, usually partly or fully covered by turf and heather, that were piled at random intervals within the areas being cleared. Most are approximately circular with a diameter between 1m and 9m with an average of 4m standing up to 0.5m high.
