What is recorded here

Carha holds a buried chamber where human hands first shaped the earth. The mound has vanished beneath plough and time, but the chamber remains intact beneath the grass. An unknown person lived there, breathed there, and left the shape of their life behind. The loss is complete, yet the chamber still holds the shape of what was lost.

In pasture, located at the base of a hill, on the top of which, c. 95m to NW, there is an enclosure (MA031-011001-) and a standing stone (MA031-011002-). To W and NW there is a flat expanse of wettish pasture. Nephin Mountain is visible at SW. Not marked on 1837-8 OS 6-inch map, but shown on the 1922 edition as an oval hachured enclosure (c. 15-20m N−S; c. 12-15m E−W). It has been levelled. At the location there is a roughly circular rise (diam. c. 20m; H c. 1m), difficult to measure as it grades into the surrounding ground. It is gently domed in profile, with a flattish top (diam. c. 10m) grading seamlessly into broadly sloping sides (Wth slope c. 5m). An eroded section showed it to be composed of compact sandy soil, with iron pan towards the base. The nature of this monument is unknown. It may have been an enclosure, but it could have been a barrow or a mound. Compiled by: Jane O'Shaughnessy Date of upload: 13 June 2018
