What is recorded here
No amount of thinking will solve a dead woman's story. Half the facts are missing and the chamber has no lights. The only honest answer is to leave the chamber and ask you to teach the chamber your rules.
In the SW corner of a pasture field, located on a ridge with a gentle fall of ground to N–NE, giving good views over a broad stream valley.
Not on any edition of the OS 6-inch maps. D-shaped area (26m N–S; 23m E–W to field wall) defined on the curving side at N–SE by a low stony bank (Wth 2.2-2.5m, int. H 0.2m; ext. H 0.3m at SE, 0.9m at NNE). The external face of the bank is highest and most substantial at N–NE to compensate for the natural slope. The straight side of the enclosure at W is formed by a NNE–SSW field wall, and a perpendicular wall clips the S edge of the enclosure. There is no visible trace of the enclosure to W of the NNE–SSW field wall. The interior is not noticeably raised above exterior ground level; it has a slight slope down to SW.
