Full Description
Earthwork of an alleged camp. All that remains is a substantial bank of earth and stones running from NJ 5598 0650 to NJ 5596 0667. Its south end has been incorporated in a forestry plantation. It is an unsuitable place for a 'camp' and it is more likely the remains of a fairly late boundary dyke dividing the moorland from the cultivated ground.
