What is recorded here

No fairy ever flew there. A circular rath, forty-seven metres across, still stands on a hilly rise in Liss, its earth bank cut and overgrown but unbroken in purpose. People lived inside that circle, likely for generations, using the height and the enclosure to keep out rain, danger and forgetting. Field walls now slice through it, and bramble fills part of the edge, yet the shape remains clear enough to walk around and imagine.

On a rise in hilly pastureland. Poorly preserved circular rath (diam. 47m) defined by a scarp which was heavily overgrown with bramble and bushes from N to SW. From SW to N the enclosing bank had been dug into in a number of places and was irregular in outline. Field walls cut the monument at N and E. The interior rose towards the centre.
