What is recorded here
Mangerton Mountain watches Sheheree, where a forgotten circular enclosure buries itself beneath pasture and grass. The fort vanished from human sight but reappeared in an aerial photograph, proving that height and distance reveal what walkways conceal. The land keeps its own shapes, waiting for eyes sharp enough to read them from above.
In pasture, on a slight NE-facing slope with views S to Mangerton Mountain. A circular enclosure (diam. c. 30m) is visible on an aerial photograph (OSAP, 2121-2) taken in 1989. This possible rath is not visible at ground level.
