Cairn

Cairn, clearance cairn

What is recorded here

Clearance cairns elsewhere mark removed topsoil or exposed ancient remains. This is no exception. People lifted stones from working land and stacked them into a visible line. The field kept producing; the stones kept witness. That much is written in the shape itself.
