What is recorded here

Yes. Fifteen feet across, half buried in bog and heather, the ring still marks a boundary though no angle remains to show where the wall stood. People may have lived inside, excluded rain or simply drawn a line around a place they loved. The fairies never entered because the circle refused them. What is forbidden there is not death but forgetfulness.

Internal diam. 18m. A circular area enclosed by a collapsed, heather-grown stone wall. A small portion on the W is perceptible only as a raised arc. Rushes growing against the wall especially on the W might indicate a fosse. The interior is level and featureless. It is situated on open level wet bogland.
