What is recorded here

Half the story of Cairn is that it is no longer entirely visible. The hill has taken back the bottom of the stone mound, pulling it into bog and leaving only a low oval ridge above the grass. What remains is still large enough to know at once: not a scattered heap, but a made shape, set on an open slope with another cairn not far to the northwest. People may have stood there in rain, marked a boundary, honoured the dead, or simply answered the human urge to give a place a edge. The hill has not erased that act; it has slowed it down.

In rough hill grazing, on a mantle of blanket bog, on an E-facing undulating slope. A roughly oval-shaped cairn (5m E-W; 3.5m N-S; max. H 0.75m) comprising a mound of large stones. The base stones in the cairn are partly hidden in the blanket bog. There is another cairn (CO115-112002-) c. 60m to the NW.
