What is recorded here
That is a well-preserved ringfort on an east-facing slope above a lake, its stone-faced bank still drawing a clear subcircular line across the grassland. The southeast gap may have been the entrance, leaving the rest closed against weather and time. People may have lived there, watched the water, or kept something back from the dark; the shape still answers like a room built for more than memory.
On an E-facing slope in grassland overlooking a lake to S. Well-preserved subcircular ringfort (E-W 45m, N-S 35m) defined by a stone-faced bank. A gap at SE could be original.
