What is recorded here

Marianne and her sister stood at the edge of the fort, looking down into the hollow where shadows gathered like water. Marianne wanted to leave, but her sister stepped across the causeway because the girl in the vision had pointed there. They walked the full circle twice, touching the cool earth and naming what they saw: a door, a chamber, a kitchen, and a woman waiting with both hands open. When they returned to the causeway, the fort had vanished, and their mother was already calling them home.

Situated on the summit of a N-S drumlin ridge. This is a grass and rush-covered circular area (int. diam. 34.8m N-S; 32.2m E-W) defined by a steep-sided, flat-topped, overgrown earthen bank (Wth of base 5.5-7.2m; int. H 0.5m at W to 1.1m at N; ext. H 2.2m at N to 3.6m at W) with an external fosse (Wth of top 5-7m; Wth of base 1.5-4m; ext. D 0.2m at E to 1.2m at W (upslope)). There is an entrance (Wth of base 2m) and causeway (Wth of top 3.6m) at E (max. ext. diam. 60.5m N-S).
