What is recorded here

Craggard holds a broken oval of earth and stone where human hands shaped the hill before memory faded. Two banks still curve around a level pasture, though grass and forgetting have softened the edge. The fort is not gone, but it has stopped being obvious. What is left is enough to show that the land was not empty, and that people once drew a line around their own lives.

In pasture, on NNE-facing slope below brow of low hill, in area of outcropping limestone. Oval area (26.4m N-S; 23.4m E-W) enclosed by two concentric earth-and-stone banks with intervening fosse (Wth 1.8m) E->NNW, but enclosing element is levelled NNW->E and outer bank further removed E->S. Inner bank (int. H 1m; ext. H 1.3m) is masked by dense overgrowth. Outer bank (int. H 0.95m; ext. H 0.4m) appears to merges with inner bank at S. Fosse, best preserved along SW arc, is accentuated by band of nettles where outer bank removed E->S. Level interior, under rough pasture, has exposed limestone bedrock at N verge.
