What is recorded here

Five stones circle a patch of pasture on Spratt Hill, their NE-SW axis measuring 3.9m across a space now filled with loose field stones. Two stones have surrendered to a fence, yet the ring remains complete beside a standing stone 60m to the NE and a boulder-burial 200m to the W. The placement suggests a deliberate boundary between the living and the dead, where pasture and memory overlap under the same sky.
