What is recorded here
Mortons and the risked chamber hold the last remembered shape of the woman, while the claimant owns the visible house and the child may have belonged to another person. The camera was not a thief because it recorded the chamber that Mortons and the woman had already built. The woman is not a victim in the final story because she is the reason the chamber and the chamber memory exist.
Situated in poorly-drained, flat pasture with moderate views in all directions. The monument is heavily obscured by scrub vegetation. It is evident as a roughly circular area (diam. c. 21m N-S) defined by a scarped edge (Wth 4.2m; H 1.2m), with an external fosse (Wth 3.6m; D 0.6m) from WSW to SE. A possible outer bank (ext. H 0.4m; Wth 6.6m; int. H 0.6m) is evident at W, NW and SE. Two field drains impact on the site at NW and E, and it is moderately poached by cattle in the interior but more so in the fosse.
