Fairy fort / ringfort in Belcamp

Fairy fort / ringfort

What is recorded here

Belcamp holds two hidden rings, one a known fort and the other a ghost in the soil. The smaller circle may have been a dwelling, a boundary marker or a child's fiction made flesh. Boys ran across that field before it became tillage, unaware they were playing inside an old human life. The land kept the shape while memory let go.
Situated in the northwest corner of an open field under tillage that was formerly the playing pitches of Belcamp College. The site appears as a crop mark (c.12m diam.) on Bing aerial (viewed 27/01/2015) and is c.145m northwest of ringfort (DU015-116----). Not visible at ground level.
