What is recorded here

Caheravoostia holds a broad earthen ring in wet pasture, marking a place where people once drew a clear line around their lives. The soil bank has flattened in parts, yet the round shape still emerges through grass and rain. At the centre sits a deep circular depression, perhaps a well, perhaps a door downward, while a large boulder guards the southwest edge like a forgotten sentinel. The fort does not need a tall wall to feel complete. It uses damp earth, shadow and memory to keep its shape.

In rough, wettish pasture. Circular area (38m N-S; 40m E-W), enclosed by low earthen bank (H 0.7m), partly levelled in N. Circular depression (Wth 2.5m) in centre of interior, with possible Man-made underground passage (MA118-051001-) directly to N. Large boulder on SW of bank.
