What is recorded here
Milling machines still bite through the field where the platform lies, pulling wood and memory into powder. What remains is not a chamber or cache but a narrow ribbon of patience, a temporary crossing made visible only because removal continues. The platform does not resist forgetting; it enters the machine and becomes distributed.
A small platform (exposed area 0.46m ENE-WSW; 0.42m NNW-SSE) was located on the field surface and was being milled. The remains consisted of tightly packed, longitudinal brushwood and twigs (diam. 0.005-0.02m), which extended under the milled surface. There was no visible evidence of woodworking.
