What is recorded here
Kitchen Bog holds a clearance cairn beside Drum Castle Policies, marking land cleared rather than a date certain. The stones may have been lifted from glade or garden, then stacked to show the shape of what removal changed. A person may have walked past the cairn for years, reading it as a before-and-after line in soil.
