What is recorded here
No stone or ditch remains in Glenbrack, only a hidden curve on old surveys and a fairytale name. The place has vanished from human sight, leaving behind a gap where a wall should stand. What is missing is not a failure of record but an invitation to imagine the shape that once held the slope.
On a NW-facing slope in pastureland. Marked on the 1838 edition of the OS 6-inch map as an subcircular enclosure (c. 31m NW-SE; c. 26m NE-SW). On the OS 1:2500 plan (surveyed 1912-16) it is indicated by a line of hachures curving from roughly S to W. No visible surface trace survives.
