What is recorded here
No visible trace remains, though the land may still hide the fort's shape beneath grass or soil. The missing marker does not reduce the place; it removes the pretence that the fort is ordinary. A fort is a fort because it shaped the ground and the ground kept the shape. Judgment should follow that much.
