What is recorded here

Beneath the northwest edge of the Hazelfort ringfort, two rectangular pits and a distant nettle-filled trench mark a buried passage. Moss still clings to the exposed stones, waiting for someone to pull back the vegetation and test whether the chambers connect. The earth keeps its shape, but the function has slipped into legend.

In NW quadrant of a ringfort (GA086-135001-). What is visible are two contiguous overgrown stony depressions, 1.5m apart, both roughly rectangular in plan. In E depression (N-S 3.4m, E-W 1.5m), which is up to 0.8m in depth, moss-covered stones protrude from N and E sides, while W depression (N-S 4.8m, E-W 3m), 0.3m in depth, is strewn with loose stone. Some 8m to W of the latter is another parallel nettle-filled depression (N-S 5.5m, Wth 3.5m). Possibly also associated.
