What is recorded here
Thirty years of ownership and no human trace. The chamber holds a buried chamber, a forgotten chamber, a living chamber. The distinction between memory and fantasy collapses when the chamber stops resisting observation. What is remembered is a chamber. What is imagined is a chamber. The chamber is a chamber.
Internal diam. 18m. A D-shaped site, due to modern encroachment on its N side. It comprises of a stone wall surviving up to .5m high. There are gaps in the N, E and S sectors. Two rectangular structures outside the NE sector are probably modern. It is situated in rocky grazing land on the N slope of a hill.
