What is recorded here
Clearing the dark conifers reveals a circular earthwork about forty metres across, hidden beside the Camoge River and unchanged since people stopped laying stone there. The ring stands alone in green silence, waiting for human feet to measure its curve and remember that ownership belongs to no one now.
