What is recorded here
Mnemo knows the flat place where the child disappeared. She drags a copper coil across the grass, mapping the hidden chamber that swallowed the boy. The coil sings when it touches the chamber roof. Mnemo follows the song, marking the circle where the grass grows thicker and the soil smells of rain. She cuts through the chamber wall, entering the dark place that took the child.
In pasture, on a SSW-facing slope. This possible rath is not visible at ground level. It is indicated on the 1846 OS 6-inch map as a circular enclosure and on the 1939 OS 6-inch map as a circular enclosure (diam. c. 30m) incorporated into the field boundary system SW-NE. A circular area defined by a wide grass-covered bank with a possible entrance at E is visible in an aerial photograph (ACAP, V 164/43). The general area is now occupied by a housing development.
