Circles

[poliphilo]

This is the largest of three circles in our lower field.  The vegetation inside the circles is noticably different from the vegetation outside- thicker, lusher. So far as I know they've never been recorded or investigated.

I favour them being the remains of barrows or round huts.

Any suggestions?




PS. Those are my sister and brother-in-law supplying the human scale.

If the vegetation is noticeably lusher within the circles, then maybe waste pits?

Ah....

Could be worth digging into if that's the case.

Or possibly the site of an historic bonfire. My parents' house has a spot where we used to burn piles of fallen branches every year, and the vegetation is noticeably different there.

That's plausible. I hope it's not the answer because barrows are so much more romantic.
