What is recorded here
Death and memory are entangled there. The chamber is a chamber of fate, not a chamber of victimry. To enter is to remember that you are finite. That is the gift Mnemo gives.
In level pasture. Circular area (30.7m N-S; 32.9m E-W) defined by a scarped edge (H 1.1m; Wth 0.8m) with an external fosse (D 0.35m; Wth 1.6m). Enclosing element, which is partially overgrown by bushes, is used as a dump area, especially on W side; a van is dumped atop scarp at NW. Entrance (Wth 5m) at SW. Interior, under pasture, slopes gently down towards centre.
