What is recorded here

Half-hidden beneath grass and peat, the low stone mound holds a single large capstone above the hill pasture. It sits north of the Glashievhee tributary, watched by broken field walls emerging through the bog. The stones may have marked a boundary, a burial, or a place where people oriented themselves before roads existed. In either case, the mound still points upward, refusing to disappear completely.

In hill pasture, on top of a knoll, to the N of a tributary of the Glashievhee stream. A cairn (3.45m E-W; 2.95m N-S; H 0.4m) of stones which is grass and peat-covered. A large stone (L 0.85m; T 0.5m; H 0.5m) lies on top of the cairn. Relict field walls (KE094-065002-) protrude through the bog in the surrounding area.

A Neolithic cairn, likely a funerary monument, dating to the 4th to 3rd millennia BCE; its location on a prominent knoll suggests ritual or ceremonial significance.
