What is recorded here

Clear water filled the shallow cut, reflecting sky and birch. The round land stood above the valley like a island without a lake. People may have lived there when rain fed the moat and the drain carried excess water east. They left no stone marker, only a smooth circle where grass still grows thick and the soil remembers the weight of a house.

Situated in a shallow NE-SW valley with the headwaters of a small NE-SW stream in the vicinity, including a silted N-S drain (Wth of top 8m; D 0.2-0.5m) just to the E. This is a circular grass-covered area (diam. 20m N-S; 19m E-W) defined by a silted moat (Wth of top 6.5-6.7m; Wth of base 3-4.5m; D 0.1-0.2m). It is most clearly visible on Google Earth (05/10/2009; 12/07/2013; 20/03/2018), and it is listed as a crannog (Newman 1997, 340).
