What is recorded here
Cairn stands on the SE bank of an enclosure, set into a level limestone shelf on the southern slopes of the Termon plateau. It measures about 1.25m from southeast to northwest and 3.5m from southwest to northeast, a modest ridge of stone within a wider field system. Another cairn lies 50m to the northeast, with two more 150m and 220m to the southwest and several more on top of the plateau. Together they mark a place where people shaped the land, remembered what mattered and left behind a landscape still alive with presence.
On the SE bank of an enclosure (CL006-150----) on a fairly level limestone shelf on the S slopes of the Termon plateau and within a field system (CL006-217----) extending all over the plateau. Described by Keegan (2016, 124) as a cairn (c. 1.25m SE-NW; 3.5m SW-NE). Another cairn (CL006-234----) lies c. 50m to the NE while there are two, 150m and 220m to the SW as well as several on top of the plateau.
