Corfe Castle above the 450 year old Greyhound Inn, Isle of Purbeck, Dorset, England.

            Poem.

A time-machine image.
Neolithic burial mounds around a classic fortress ruin.
Adjacent fields - Celtic field-patterns.
Strategic defensive node in Roman and Saxon Wessex.
Ground-breaking, original stone-built fortification -1066,
ordered by William 1.
Medieval town grew in its shadow.
450 years of hospitality at the Greyhound Inn.
A supreme defensive, strategic vantage point inspired this time- capsule, this cosmic “worm-hole” back in time,
70 million, 8,000, 4,000, 2,000, 1,000, 500, 50 and ……….5 years ago, thus cars, tarmac and road-markings.
A gap in the Purbeck Limestone hills
to an electricity junction box.
Who needs Dr. Who?
