What is recorded here
Fairy forts are not for people. They belong to the hidden life that uses pressure and memory instead of flesh. This is a boundary marker, not a home. The chamber is complete, the edge is drawn, and the refusal is clear. To understand the chamber is to stop inviting it to carry you.
In level pasture. Monument, depicted as embanked penannular enclosure (opening facing E) on 1924 OS 6-inch map, has been levelled and incorporated into pasture field. Now evident as circular area (diam. 32m) defined by scarped edge (H 0.2m; Wth 2m) with external fosse (D 0.1m; Wth 3m). Level interior under pasture.
