What is recorded here
Half a kilometre east of Grange East, a vanished ring still marks the grass. Its bank has levelled into soil and shadow, yet the circle holds about fifty metres across, with a field fence pressing close on the east and another enclosure waiting sixty metres west. Perhaps people lived there before the ringfort two hundred metres away, or perhaps the land simply repeated itself. Either way, the grass remembers a boundary nobody built twice.
Levelled bank of roughly circular enclosure (diam. c. 50m) visible as soilmark in aerial photograph (CASAP). Field fence immediately to E. Ringfort (12563) c. 200m to ENE; circular enclosure (13766) c. 60m to W.
