What is recorded here

No visible mound remains at Tullig, but the hidden chamber under the fort still catches breath from nearby people. The fairies moved the stones into a hollow cage and wait for the owner of that breath to return. They do not harm the living, but they take memories one jar at a time and keep them beside the doorway. Forgetting is their bargain: give up one small joy and the chamber gives back life.

In pasture, on relatively level terrain at the base of an N-facing slope. Depicted as a circular banked enclosure (diam. c. 33m) on the 1st (1841) edition of the OS 6-inch map. It is similarly depicted on later OS map editions. When visited in 1985 the outline of the enclosing bank (int. H 0.25m; ext. H 0.35m) was most obvious SSW-NNE and it was traceable E-SSW. A slight depression of a wide fosse (Wth 4m; D 0.3m) could be discerned E-SW. The interior was level and clear of vegetation cover. Compiled by: Matt Kelleher Date of upload: 28 January 2014
