What is recorded here

Barrow is a hidden ring-barrow on flat pasture beside the Camoge River, joining a nearby mound, other barrows and an enclosure in a forgotten neighbourhoood. It resisted ordinary mapping and satellite vision until aerial photography revealed its shape, suggesting the land itself withheld the marker from casual notice. People may have passed within metres for generations, unaware that a burial circle watched the grass grow above it.
