What is recorded here
Yes. An adult would have needed a ladder or a child a tiny tomb. The wall stands taller than the graves, bending the sky into a narrow box where small shadows stretch long at noon.
Adjoining an enclosure (GA105-076----) at NE. A rectangular area (22m NNW-SSE; 8m ENE-WSW) is delimited by the enclosure wall along its SW side and by field walls on the three other sides. Within it a number of set moss-covered stones indicate graves. Possibly a children's burial ground.
