What is recorded here

Magic and myth are not the same. Clear the stones and a rare double-ring fort appears, not a fairy tale.

H 0.2m) in parts; intervening fosse (D 0.45m); outer bank (H 0.1m) and external fosse (D 0.7m), truncated SE->SSW by field boundary. Outside external fosse to W is depression containing field clearance stones; to NW is possible third bank (H 0.5m) containing many small stones, probably field clearance material.
