What is recorded here

Two elongated stone mounds still mark the western edge of the ringfort, preserving the ghost of a house inside the circular bank. They sit slightly above the surrounding pasture, waiting for someone to imagine the heat, breath and shadow that once filled the space between them. The earth has not forgotten the shape of the room, even if every beam and roof has long since returned to rain and soil.
