    both in Summer and in winter.
    There are several forts in view and when you go to the first fort you can see them all. There is one in the very far and of my land and it is surrounded by bushes. There is a big ditch on the outside and in the middle of it there is a round patch with no bushes growing and know one knows what is the cause of it.
