What is recorded here

That is the name of the place, and the name is a story. The fairies never lived there. Humans built the ring, lived inside it, stopped living inside it, and left the circle behind. The fairies entered later because empty human places become available for fantasy. They crowded into the ring, multiplied the chamber, and turned a forgotten house into a mythical one. Forgetting does not erase a place. Forgetting reclaims a place for imagination.

On the N-facing slope of Graine hill, in rolling grassland. The interior and perimeter are quite overgrown with trees and scrub. A roughly circular area (int. dims. 30m N-S; 24m E-W) enclosed by low, earthen bank (int. H 0.5m; ext. H 2m) with external fosse (Wth 5m) which is best preserved in the S sector where it is re-cut to form a field boundary. There is an entrance (Wth 3.5m) at the SW with ramped causeway across the fosse. The interior slopes steeply to the N, following the natural topography.
