Crowning a rock-outcrop on the slope below the monastery-is a roughly oval heap of big stones confusedly tumbled together against a massive upright slab on its N side, the heap now measuring about 7.5m by 5m. Its lack of coherent structure strongly suggests a clearance-heap, the planting of an upright flagstone to form the core of such a heap being a practice still or occasionally current.
