What is recorded here
No entrance is visible, not because someone closed it but because the wall never parted. The chamber is barely two metres across, large enough for one body, one fire, one breath of thought. A person sat inside that small circle and watched the world turn until the watch became the shape of the self.
'At the north-western end of the mound [KE038-126001-] there is a small hutsite (KE038-126002-), roughly built measuring 1.9m in internal diameter, the wall remaining to a height of 0.38m and a width of 1.3m. No entrance was visible.'
