What is recorded here

Mortals may have built the Bregoge fort, but fairies certainly finished it. They took the southern gap and widened it into a door, then stood watch above the triangular pit where they keep what people drop. The bank still leans outward as if shaking off every hand that touches it, and the grass grows thicker wherever someone forgets to ask permission before entering.

In tillage, on gentle NE-facing slope. Depicted as hachured bivallate circular enclosure on 1842 OS 6-inch map; as hachured circular raised area on 1905 and 1937 OS 6-inch maps. Heavily overgrown circular area (diam. c. 30m) enclosed by earthen bank (int. H 1.1m; ext. H 0.4m); external fosse (D 1.1m). Bank heavily overgrown all round; lower on S side (int. H 0.4m).
