Fairy fort / ringfort in Cooltedery

Fairy fort / ringfort

What is recorded here

Cooltedery holds a forty-seven metre circular enclosure with an eastern gap, visible only when crops reveal the hidden shape beneath. The land remembers the boundary even when stone has vanished, suggesting people once drew a line around their lives and left it marked in soil. That much is clear. Whether the circle excluded or protected, the earth still repeats the shape without explanation.
