What is recorded here

You want to keep the chamber, the music, the room where human and monster faced each other. Fine. Keep the chamber. Stop pretending the chamber did not consume the person who entered it.
In low-lying grassland. Circular rath (D 29m), in fair condition, defined by a degraded scarp. A gap (Wth 3.5m) at ENE may be original.
