What is recorded here

Cairn stands on a low Clare rise, watching traffic and weather pass because it refused to disappear. Grass hides its edges, a wall crosses its top, and a modern pole occupies the mound beside it, yet the shape remains distinct enough to find. People may have stacked stone there for marking, mourning or simply enjoying the view. The land kept the shape alive long after human hands stopped shaping it.

On a low rise in rough pasture, with fair views in all directions. This subcircular grass-covered cairn (9m E-W; 8m N-S; H 0.5-1.3m) has a flat top (diam. 3m) and is poorly defined at its E edge. A natural scarp arcs SW and then NW from the S edge of the cairn. There is a natural N-S orientated hollow just to the E of the cairn, and on the E side of that (4m from the cairn) is a curving scarp of what looks like a natural cairn/mound in which an electricity pole is set. A grass-covered wall which runs E-W over the top of the cairn and continues beyond it in both directions is visible in satellite imagery (Aerial Premium 2013-2018).
