What is recorded here

Glenrevagh holds a broken circular cairn and two crossing stones that may have covered a dead person’s box. Grass and time have swallowed most of the building, leaving only a low ridge and a sudden angular shadow in the field. The site still points to a moment when people shaped stone around loss instead of forgetting it.

At N end of a low hillock in undulating grassland. It consists of a poorly preserved and partially overgrown subcircular cairn (E-W 14.5m, N-S 12m, H 0.75m). At the centre, two large set stones are visible at right angles to each other (E-W 0.85m, N-S 0.65m), possibly indicating a cist. (Topgr.
