What is recorded here

Marianne and her daughter thought they knew the field, but the field kept its own counsel. Under the barley and behind the stone wall, a buried ring waited for someone young enough to listen. When they stopped treating the land as a picture and began asking it questions, the forgotten shape entered the story. That is when the real adventure began.
