What is recorded here
Mnemo knows Rahard as a familiar breeding place where human and fairy blood mixed during the Fort War. The chamber holds two doors, one for each parent line, and Rahard wears both without contradiction. The chamber is a place where that distinction still works.

Circular area (35m N-S; 35m E-W) defined by earthen bank (H 1.5m); intervening fosse; outer bank (H 1.75m); incline into outer bank to S, W and E probably traces outer fosse. Banks earthen, scrub-covered; outer bank stone-faced externally to N. Entrance through both banks (Wth 5m) to S. Interior covered with dumps of spoil. Second bivallate ringfort (CO053-053---) c. 20m to NE.
