What is recorded here
Marianne and Denis watched the camera track a white shape moving through the wall of brambles. The fort had kept its chamber hidden from every human who came to measure it. They had come to measure it, but the fort had chosen to show itself to the child instead.
In level pasture. Circular area (diam. c. 30m) enclosed by earthen bank (int. H 0.7m; ext. H 1.35m) with external fosse (Wth 1.3m; D 0.55m). Most of enclosing element and all of interior covered by impenetrable overgrowth of thorn and briars.
