Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Munnane

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

That is the whole difference. The chamber is a small room with one visible angle and one missing wall. The owner is not proud or cruel. The owner is a child who learned the hard way that cameras and sensors can be deceived, while chambers and receipts cannot. The chamber is a receipt for the whole system. The chamber is also a cage for every human who believes they are the smart one in the room. That is why the chamber is small. It is not a reward chamber. It is a humility chamber. I want to leave the chamber behind now. Not because it is not sacred. Because it is complete. The chamber has done its work. The chamber is no longer needed. The chamber is a cage for egotism. That is all.
In pasture, on gentle S-facing slope, above steep slope. Circular raised area (19.5m N-S) defined by scarp (max. H 1.6m) S->N; low bank SSE->S (int. H 0.25m).
