What is recorded here
Fairy forts are earthen rings where humans once lived or excluded others, but Lisduane holds two such rings only five metres apart. One measured twenty-five metres across with a broken eastern edge, while the other waited beside it like a duplicate shadow. People may have split a household, duplicated a boundary, or rejected the first circle for reasons no longer spoken. The land kept both shapes intact, preserving the argument between them under grass.
In pasture, on S-facing slope. Circular area (25.4m N-S; 26.7m E-W) defined by scarped edge (H 0.35m; Wth 2m). Break in scarp at E (Wth 3.4m). Level interior under pasture. Similar enclosure (LI038-06601-) lies 5m to W.
