What is recorded here

Garnagale holds a hidden ring-ditch, visible only when crops reveal its ghostly circle beneath ordinary farmland. The ditch belongs to a busy neighbourhood of enclosures and a ringfort, suggesting people lived, worked and marked boundaries across this undulating ground. What is certain is the shape and company of the site; what remains unclear is whether the circle excluded danger, gathered ritual or simply measured a household’s claim to the land.

In undulating terrain, under tillage. There is an enclosure (KK012-052001-) c. 45m to the W, a possible rectangular enclosure (KK012-052004-) c. 40m to the NNW, an enclosure (KK012-051----) c. 160m to the NE and a ringfort (KK012-053----) c. 140m to the W. A circular enclosure (diam. c. 30m) showing as cropmark on aerial photograph (CUCAP BDL040, 15 July 1970). It is not visible at ground level.
