What is recorded here
Thirty metres of white chalk rise above the solstice path, marking the place where human and divine currents still entangle. The chamber below holds no bones, only a waiting dark that returns every breath inward. What was buried here did not die; it is still learning the shape of visibility.
On a slight S-facing slope towards the summit of the Termon plateau and within a field system (CL006-217----) extending all over the plateau. Described by Keegan (2016, 117) as a cairn (c. 3.75m N-S; c. 3m E-W). Another cairn (CL006-226----) lies c. 100m to the NW.
