Recordist's notes

Two ring forts dating to the 8th-11th Centuries. Dwellings have been found both within and out of the ring forts, and Bronze Age, Iron Age, and Stone Age tools were also discovered, along with jewelry and bone implements. Today, this was the first place we found that was dominated by the natural soundscape. #WLD2013 #softday
