Visited on 30th April 1993. Four cairns lie within an irregular aggregate field system situated on a gentle north-west facing slope of Corn Ridge. Two of the cairns are oblong in shape and are attached to boundary banks, whilst the others are circular and lie within the fields. The 3 smaller mounds probably represent clearance cairns.
