markj99 visited on 10th Sep 2022 - their rating: Cond: 2 Amb: 3 Access: 4 Manor Common cairns are not easy to locate so a GPS search would be advantageous.
Manor Common North Cairn measures c. 20 yards in diameter with an intermittent kerb 3-4 feet high. One possible kerb stone measuring c. 3 feet high by 4 feet wide is earthfast in the N perimeter of the barrow. There is also a Recumbent Slab measuring c. 4 feet by 2 feet lying c. 5 yards NE of Manor Common N Barrow. The barrow is grass covered with a hollow centre.
Manor Common North & South Cairns are marked on OS Mapping but not listed on Historic England. It would be easy to walk past the cairns as they merge into the landscape.
