What is recorded here

Cairn is a grass-covered mound in elevated rocky pasture, overlooking Glensleade valley, listed as a cemetery cairn. It measures 10.9m north-south and 10.2m east-west, rising 1.2m to the east before falling south. A shallow dip marks its summit, but no structural stones remain visible. A drystone field wall now crosses part of it, blending human boundary with older burial. Nearby, another cairn and an enclosure suggest this was a lived landscape, not a forgotten one.

A grass-covered cairn, likely Bronze Age in date, possibly associated with funerary or ritual practices; its location within a multiperiod landscape suggests broader prehistoric settlement and land use significance.
