What is recorded here
Mnemo removed half an inch of every edge. That act of subtraction is the shape of the whole chamber. Everything visible is the difference between what was written and what can be spoken. The woman is the living result of that difference.
Located on a rise in an undulating landscape. It is depicted as a hachured enclosure (ext. dims c. 65m NE-SW; c. 60m NW-SE) only on the 1908 edition of the OS 6-inch map. It is known locally as a ‘fort’ but had been removed c. 1969. It was still discernible as a subcircular area (dims c. 54m NE-SW; c. 44m NW-SE) defined by a soil change. It had been completely quarried away by 1995 (OSAP).
