A removable pile cap is disclosed for use with a pile that is driven into the ground. The removable pile cap comprises a top member and at least one pile member positionable between at least a first orientation and a second orientation. The top member and the at least one pile member are connected together. When the at least one pile member is in the first orientation it is mountable over the pile's upper end.
