What is recorded here

Half a metre wide and forty centimetres deep, the surviving arc cuts the north edge of an east-west Iron Age ditch on a low Garretstown plateau. It circles a space barely large enough for one person to stand inside, yet it returned no artifact, bone, or date to show what it kept. The missing half may have filled with soil or vanished under grass, leaving only a thin curve beside a barrow and another ditch. What the circle excluded, or marked for someone who no longer has a name, remains absent from the earth itself.

Located on the plateau of a broad low hill c. 5m NW of ring-ditch (ME038-071002-) and c. 40m N of the central barrow (ME038-071001-). This (418) survived as an arc of a fosse (Wth 0.5m; D 0.4m) on the N side of an E-W Iron Age ditch. It is a small circular area (int. diam. c. 3.2m; ext. diam. c. 5.1m) and produced no artefacts or dating material.
