What is recorded here
No visible entrance, no obvious boundary, no human shape at all. The camera recorded empty air. That is not failure of imagination. It is the end of the human lens. The chamber has stopped answering the living. It is waiting for the dead to return.
In pasture, on NE-facing slope. Circular area (32m N-S; 30m E-W) enclosed by earth-and-stone bank (int. H 0.75m; ext. H 2.3m) with external waterlogged fosse (Wth 4m); running outside fosse and concentric with it is earthen field boundary (int. H 1m; ext. H 1.5m). Gap through both bank and field boundary at E (Wth 1.7m) and gap across inner bank at NNW (Wth 3.2m). Interior, in rough grazing, slopes down gently to N.
