Monument record TR 04 NE 33 - Flint clearance cairns, Towns Wood
Summary
Mounds of flints at the western edge of Towns Wood are thought to be flint cairns that have been collected for road-making or as building material and not used. The mounds vary in size and shape but they are all loosely packed without soil growth on top and are near to a road. The monuments have been described in local traditions as burial mounds, but this seems unlikely.
