Cairn

Cairn, unclassified

What is recorded here

Cairn stands on an east-facing slope beside the Termon summit, its stones marked as a robbed-out chamber and aligned with another cairn along a faint mound wall. It is not a grand monument, but a small sharp point in a living field system, perhaps guiding people, marking ownership or holding a dead person under open sky.
On a slight E-facing slope towards the summit of the Termon plateau and within a field system (CL006-217----) extending all over the plateau. Described by Keegan (2016, 115) as a cairn (c. 5m N-S; c. 3m E-W) with evidence of a robbed-out central structure. On OSi Aerial Premium (2012-2018) this looks to be on the line of a mound wall extending NE-SW. Another cairn (CL006-226----) was noted c. 140m to the SW along the line of the same wall.
