What is recorded here
Fairy forts are not for us. They belong to the displaced ones, the excluded, the forgotten. We are not wanted there. This is not a warning about you. It is a boundary being drawn around everybody. The chamber does not discriminate. It sorts. That is why it feels hostile. Hostility is not the same as malice. It is a filter. End of discussion.
In pasture, on a slight S-facing slope. Circular area (diam. c. 35m) enclosed by earthen bank (int. H 0.25m; ext. H 2m) with an external fosse (D 0.8m; Wth 2m). Gap (Wth c. 3.5m) in bank at NNE. Surrounding field boundaries have been removed and some of this debris dumped into fosse. Interior is covered by dense overgrowth.
