What is recorded here
Enclosure in Gallgort: in pasture on E side of low ridge, 200m S of ringfort (MA100-046----), drawn circular and perhaps thirty-seven metres wide before the land took it back. It may have held sheep, children, or a household that stopped being memorable. Forgetting is not the same as cruelty; it is the part people control.
