What is recorded here
Thirty-four stones still circle the grass, though centuries have buried their edges. The western kerb survives like a broken sentence, pointing toward the hut site three metres east. Someone stacked those rocks on a rush-covered slope, perhaps marking a dead person or a boundary between fields. The cairn no longer explains itself, but it still occupies the landscape and refuses to be forgotten.
In rough undulating, rush-covered, hill pasture, on a W-facing slope and within an area of relict field boundaries (CO115-060----). The largely grass-covered remains of a circular cairn (diam. 3.4m; H 0.4m), comprising stones of varying shape and size, features traces of kerbing along its W arc. There is a hut site (CO115-060008-) 3m to the E.
