Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Coolrus

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

No visible fortification. But under the pasture, a hidden chamber waits for the right fever dream. The boundary is not a wall but a threshold between the visible world and the dreaming dark. What is hidden is not absent. It is waiting to be remembered. The field holds more than it shows.
In pasture, on shoulder of SE-facing slope. Roughly circular area (42.4m SW-NE; 39.2m SE-NW) defined SW->S by scarped edge (H 1.5m; Wth 1.5), and enclosed S->SW by earthen bank (int. H 0.5m; ext. H 1.5m) with external fosse (D 0.7m; Wth 1.4m) with berm (Wth c. 1.8m) between bank and fosse. Interior under pasture except NW quadrant which is covered by nettles and is slightly raised above level of rest of interior. Compiled by: Denis Power Date of upload: 26 August 2011
