What is recorded here

Magic is not needed to explain the broken ring. Cattle walked through the northern gap, wore the earth into a scar, and turned an old boundary into a feeding gate. The hawthorn still holds what the animals took, while nettles fill the hollow where people once drew a line around their own world.

In pasture, atop hill. Roughly circular area (36.8m N-S; 39m E-W) enclosed by earthen bank (int. H 0.3m; ext. H 2.75m), incorporated into S field boundary ESE->SW (int. H 1.3m). Bank is degraded to scarped edge (H 0.55m; Wth 2m) NE->ESE, in which there is a dip at NE (Wth 4m) which appears to be caused by cattle accessing interior. Enclosing element covered in briars and hawthorn. Eastern two-thirds of interior slope down to W, and lower western third level; interior is covered with nettles.
