What is recorded here

On rising pastureland in Guhard North, a circular earthen bank still encloses a space forty-four metres across. The interior sits higher than the surrounding field and has become so overgrown that the boundary nearly disappears under grass and shadow. People may have lived inside that small world, marked the edge of ownership or simply refused to share the land with everyone else.
