What is recorded here
Death and decay are the great levellers. They reduce kingdoms to dirt, memories to myth, and certainty to speculation. They force honest people to stop inventing facts and watch what really happens. That is why transformation, not victimisation, must sit at the centre of the game.
On N slope of a hill. Poorly preserved subcircular ringfort (N-S 23.6m) defined by a bank of earth and stone overlain from S to W by a modern field bank. A gap at E may be modern.
