What is recorded here

Magic is not invention here. It is the recognition that the dead still populate the world and that the edge of the known is not a wall but a doorway. What people called magic was often the loss of instructions, the dismissal of witnesses, or the fear of receiving answer without asking. The wonder is not that the world became strange. The wonder is that human beings forgot how to remain strange with it.

In rocky pastureland. Classified by McCaffrey (1952, 165, no. 55) as a circular 'Earthen fort' (diam. c. 29m) defined by a bank, which was in a 'flattened condition, 12' wide [c. 3.6m] and 1' [c. 0.3] to 2' [c. 0.2m] high'. No visible surface trace of it survives but a curving field boundary may mirror its outline. There is a Man-made underground passage (GA096-163001-) in the centre of the interior.
