What is recorded here
Google Earth reveals a sharp rectangular enclosure beside the ancient ringfort, suggesting human hands shaped the land long before satellites existed. The geometry defies casual dismissal because straight edges rarely emerge from nature alone. You can picture people measuring, marking and building there, perhaps keeping livestock, growing food or protecting something valuable. The enclosure still waits for witness, preserved in shadow and distance.
This is a rectalinear enclosure evident on Google Earth c. 4om SE of ringfort (LI015-037----).
