What is recorded here
Morgans North holds a forty-metre stone ring where human anger or fear may have built walls against the dark. The SW corner has vanished into a garden boundary, yet the NW gap remains open like a breath held by the land. Fairies may have taken the rest, but the stones still resist forgetting.
In flat low-lying pasture. Circular area (diam. 40m N-S) enclosed by collapsed sod-covered dry-stone wall (H 0.6m; Wth 4m), with external fosse (D 0.2m; Wth 3m) and counter-scarp bank (H 0.2m; Wth 2.2m) N->SE. A segment of enclosure, at SW corner, has been levelled and replaced by earthen field boundary enclosing garden. Gap in enclosing wall (Wth c. 3m) at NW. Level interior clear of overgrowth except NW quadrant which is overgrown with bushes'
