What is recorded here

Courtwood holds a large circular enclosure marked by two concentric fosses and an incomplete inner ditch. The earth still outlines a smaller space within the greater ring, suggesting layered use rather than a single hurried build. A rectilinear field system attaches to the fort, tying domestic life to the defended or ceremonial core. The shape resists easy dismissal because it repeats: boundary, threshold, interior, and boundary again.
