What is recorded here
False memory is a dangerous thing. It is better to leave the chamber empty than to occupy it with fantasy.
Enclosure described in 1943 as following; 'This is an earthen platform with a bank at its edge. Outside is a fosse. On the north and east sides the bank and fosse are quite gone. The entrance is not recognisable. The overall diameter is 150' [47m]. It is heavily overgrown with bushes and is situated in low-land marshy ground' (O'Kelly 1942-3, 223).
