What is recorded here

The cliff edge opened like a door, dropping her through darkness into a chamber lit by blue fire. She returned changed, speaking a language that sounded like rain on stone.
In pasture, on crest of hillock. Circular area (diam. 19.1m) enclosed by heavily overgrown earthen bank (H 0.7m). Circular enclosure (CO126-017002-) 20m to NE.
