A Clearance Cairn is an irregular and unstructured collection of stones which have been removed from arable land or pasture to allow for more effective agriculture and collected into a usually low mound or cairn. Commonly of Bronze Age origins, these cairns may be part of a cairnfield (a collection of closely spaced cairns) where some cairns might be funerary. Clearance cairns are a World wide phenomena wherever organised agriculture has been practised.
