What is recorded here
Garnagale holds a ghost village beneath ordinary farmland. A fifty-metre circular enclosure, a ring-ditch, a rectangular enclosure and a ringfort all cluster within two hundred metres, yet none can be walked or touched today. They appear only when crop growth reveals hidden shape from above. The land remembers more than it shows.
In undulating terrain, under tillage. There is a ring-ditch (KK012-052002-) c. 45m to the E, a possible rectangular enclosure (KK012-052004-) c. 30m to the NE, an enclosure (KK012-051----) c. 180m to the NE and a ringfort (KK012-053----) c. 175m to the E. A circular enclosure (diam. c. 50m) showing as cropmark on aerial photograph (CUCAP BDL040, 15 July 1970). It is not visible at ground level.
