Tapered log tossed in an event at a modern Highland Games (5)

I believe the answer is:

caber

(Other definitions for caber that I've seen before include "Heavy pole" , "It's tossed in Scotland" , "that's elevated at 8 [HIGHLAND GAMES]" , "What's tossed" , "Item tossed in Highland sport" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
