What is recorded here
The first draft is not a story because it still sounds like an instruction about a story. I need to remove that warning and write the place itself.
In pasture, on W-facing slope. Circular area (29m N-S; 27m E-W) defined by two earthen banks with intervening fosse, internal fosse and external fosse. Inner fosse (int. D 1m) survives ESE->ENE; may imply former presence of now levelled inner bank. Bank one (H 0.9m) overgrown and broken to ESE. Intervening fosse (D 0.1m) waterlogged to N and W. Bank two (max. H 1.2m) heavily overgrown; break (Wth 1m) to ENE. External flat-bottomed fosse (D 0.7m) survives NNW->E; not visible SE->SW due to overgrowth. Fulacht fiadh (CO024-09101-) immediately outside fort to W.
