What is recorded here

The Manger, north of Uffington Castle is a castle, fort or tower in Vale of White Horse, England. Perhaps soldiers stood watch above the white chalk ridges while ordinary people forgot the stones existed. Maybe the manger shape fed horses rather than people, though no saddle mark remains visible. Imagine a guard dropping bread into the notch because hunger struck even the strongest watcher.
