What is recorded here

Thirty feet of loose stone mark a dead chamber on the Clare slope. Four mossy rocks still outline the chamber, though soil and time have shifted them from their original alignment. The cairn is not a monument to pride but a container for loss, holding what the living refused to carry further.

On a SE facing slope with a wide basin to the SE and slightly higher ground c. 50m to the W. Listed as ‘cairns’ in the RMP (1996). A grass-covered cairn of stone (16.3m E-W; 15.4m N-S; H 1.3-2m) with a visible polygonal cist (1.6m NE-SW) in the centre. The cist is overgrown with moss and comprises four stones which are not contiguous and may have been disturbed by the quarrying of a depression (L 2m; Wth 0.6m) visible at the SW extent.

A Neolithic cairn; its size and polygonal form suggest a funerary or ceremonial function typical of the period. Its location and orientation may indicate landscape significance, though specific cultural associations remain unrecorded.
