What is recorded here

Five oval cairns mark the SW edge of Dromore Hill, the easternmost no more than sixty centimetres tall and spaced five metres apart. Grass hides most of their small stones, yet the repeated shape suggests people visited this ridge often enough to build, remember and return. They may have guided travellers, honoured the dead or simply made a familiar place on open ground.

On a grassy platform, beneath a ridge, on the SW side of Dromore Hill. This is the easternmost of a group of five cairns (see CO119-117001-; CO119-117002-; CO119-117003-; CO119-117004-) that are situated E-W along the platform. This is an oval grass-covered cairn (3m NE-SW; 2.5m NW-SE; H 0.6m) that consists of stones varying in size from 0.10m to 0.30m. One of the other cairns (CO119-117001-) is situated 5m to the W.
