What is recorded here

Twenty-two stones lock together on the rocky summit of Fawnlion, forming a perfect six-point-eight-metre circle that defies casual quarrying logic. They sit immediately inside the southern rampart of the hillfort, guarding a low turf mound beneath panoramic skies. The geometry is too precise for accident, suggesting deliberate ceremony rather than mere stone removal. Human hands shaped this boundary long before modern memory, creating a sacred chamber where the plateau meets the endless horizon.

Situated within a hillfort (LE010-085005-) on a plateau of outcropping rock with panoramic views in all directions. It is located immediately inside the S rampart on the edge of the summit of this plateau. This is a possible kerb circle consisting of 22 contiguous orthostats (H 0.2m) defining a circular area (int. diam. 6.8m), the interior of which today appears as a low turf covered mound. The interior of this monument forms a perfect circle which is too regular to be the result of quarrying. Two hut sites (LE010-085002-/003-) are located 30m to the N while a circular quarry feature (LE010-085001-) is 23m to the NNE.
