What is recorded here
Curravarra is a ghost name, sliding between two stones half a kilometre apart while the first vanished into a circular hut site. That hesitation is the point: the land refused to choose one meaning, keeping both shapes alive under the same word.
Depicted on the 1841-42 OS 6-inch map as a possible cairn and named 'Curravarra'. At this position on the 1916 OS 6-inch map is a small circular feature similar to a hut site with a diameter of c. 10m. On the 1916 OS 6-inch map, the name 'Curravarra' is attached to another possible cairn (KE014-018----) which lies c. 500m to the ENE.
