What is recorded here

Half a metre of bare stone rises from a grassy ring on the Maughanaclea Hills, labelled in local memory as a soldier's grave though no name remains cut into its surface. The hollow sits between an old enclosure and a wedge tomb, suggesting the hill has collected dead and living for centuries. A person may have fallen in battle or simply vanished into the grazing land, leaving behind a marker others kept clean enough to remember.

In rough hill grazing, in a hollow on the SW-facing slopes of the Maughanaclea Hills. An uninscribed upright stone (H 0.5m; 0.37m x 0.1m) stands in the centre of a circular grass-covered cairn (c. 3m x 3m; H 0.15m). It is known locally as 'the soldier's grave' (Myler 1998, 60). An enclosure (CO106-084----) and a wedge tomb (CO106-062----) lie c. 60m to the SW and c. 180m to the NE, respectively.
