What is recorded here

Five oval cairns mark a grassy platform beneath Dromore Hill, spaced three metres apart as if measuring footsteps rather than burying bodies. This is the third from the east, no taller than a knee, yet deliberate enough to resist forgetting. People may have walked the line at sunset, touching each stone to count years, losses or promises. The ridge still holds them like a sentence waiting for its last word.

On a grassy platform, beneath a ridge, on the SW side of Dromore Hill. This is one of a group of five cairns (see CO119-117----; CO119-117001-; CO119-117002-; CO119-117004-) that are situated E-W along the platform. This oval-shaped cairn (2.4m NW-SE; 1.8 NE-SW; H 0.5m) is situated 3m W of one of the other cairns (CO119-117002-) and 3m to the E of another (CO119-117004-).
