Cairn

Cairn, clearance cairn

What is recorded here

Clearance and memory both build cairns, but Kye gives its stones to water, loss and time. The lake is gone, the boundary is gone, the hand that placed them is gone. The oval still stands, not as a finished answer but as a living reminder that love and witness need only shape, and that form is stronger than forgetting.
Gannon (1972) mentions a large heap of stones at the centre of (RO035-053002-) which is no longer in evidence, and which is described as like rubble. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 24 August 2010
