What is recorded here

Five oval cairns, including this one, are spaced along a grassy platform beneath the SW ridge of Dromore Hill. They are not scattered; they are repeated like a sentence spoken slowly. A person may have placed them there to mark a route, a boundary or a remembered event. The stones still arrange the land into meaning.
