What is recorded here

Killegland holds a forgotten ring, fifty metres wide, buried beneath ordinary soil. The earth kept the shape of a ditch even when people stopped seeing it. Cameras flown above fields drew the hidden circle back into the world. What lives inside such a forgotten boundary is no longer certain, but the boundary still exists.

Situated on a fairly level landscape. The cropmark of a circular enclosure (diam. c. 50-55m) defined by a single fosse feature is visible on an oblique aerial photograph (CUCAP: AID054) from 1963. It is also partially visible on the OSI series of aerial photographs (1995, 2005) and Bing images (c. 2011-13), where arcs of the fosse feature are visible NE-SE and WSW-NW, probably where it is crossing a slight ridge. It is also visible on Google Earth (12/07/2013).
