What is recorded here

Ten metres of raised earth still circle inside the middle ringfort, though late nineteenth-century hands broke the mound and scattered whatever truth it hid. The barrow has watched the fort grow and change, keeping its own quiet shape while people forgot what they buried or marked there. It is not easy to find, but it remains patient, waiting for someone to stop measuring and listen to the soil remember.
