Fun Crafts With Dirt!!!
First, make a small hill:
Make sure it’s high enough to see all of your neighbors!
Now dig a circular ditch around an area in front of your hill:
Don’t forget to use that extra dirt from the ditch to make an embankment:
If you’re feeling especially funky and creative you can sharpen some logs and put them on top of that embankment for a palisade:
CONGRATULATIONS! You have now made your own Motte (not the apple sauce brand, that’s Mott) and Bailey castle!
Proceed to exercise your feudal authority over your neighbors at your leisure.
and remember… if you put the embankment outside the ditch, you’ve got yourself a henge!
I hate it when I set out to make a ring fort and accidentally make a henge. It’s so frustrating.
