What is recorded here

Clearance rubble from nearby fields has buried the oldest edges, yet the small stones still hold a round shape on the Galway ridge. People may have carried them from a flood-cut bank or a forgotten farm, stacked them around someone they loved, and left the place to rain. The ridge gives the cairn back each time someone walks past, not as a monument but as a memory the land refuses to lose.

On a low ridge running N-S. A subcircular cairn (N-S 10.2m, E-W 9.6m, H 1.7m), in fair condition, composed of small stones and known locally as a 'burial ground'. Traces of a low bank are visible on the flat summit from N to ENE.-Field-clearance rubble has been deposited on the summit.
