What is recorded here
Cattle and Fort is a castle, fort or tower in Cherwell, England. Perhaps cattle crowded the fort doors until people climbed walls to escape the heat. Maybe a keeper counted hooves instead of arrows and called the day successful. Imagine brass rings worn smooth by necks that rubbed them in patience.
