What is recorded here
Magic and memory are not opposites. They are one system. The chamber is a place where that system can be seen. What resists understanding is not the person or the victim. It is the chamber itself. It feeds on confusion. It wants people to leave the facts and invent stories. Keep the facts sharp. Record what the chamber does. Deny it the confusion it needs.
In tillage, on N-facing slope. Depicted on 1842, 1904 and 1935 OS 6-inch maps ashachured circular enclosure (diam. c. 35m) with roadway running approx. N-S crossing E half of interior.
