(NU 02572661) Camp. (1)

A native ridge end fort commanding a magnificent view to south. Univallate. The rampart is seemingly of earth and stone. The area was planted once, but it is now clear. It is much robbed but is plain to see. (2)

A nearly circular earthwork of about 100 yards diameter originally surrounded by two ramparts, the outer one being almost obliterated and only visible on the east side. The entrance appears to have been in the south-west but the traces are indistinct. Some sepulchral urns have been dug up near the north-west corner of the herd's house as well as on other parts of the farm at Trickley. (3)

Trickley. A circular earthwork with single rampart enclosing approx 1 3/4 acres. (6)

NU02582663 Earthwork remains on top of a bracken and pasture covered hill, with a commanding position.
Oval shaped rampart of earth and stones, 2m-5m wide and 0.3m-1m high, is destroyed upon the south side by the intrusion of a farmstead. Along the east and south-east sides, a modern wall runs along the rampart, and here it has been somewhat mutilated. The probable entrance is in the north-west side, approximately 2m wide. The west and north sides have been strengthened with a slighter outer rampart of earth and stones. It is 2m wide and 0.2m-0.4m high upon the north side, but can only be traced upon the west side as fragmentary and unsurveyable. A medial ditch can be traced either side of the north-west entrance, for approximately 20m west and 40m east. An earth ramp across the ditch to the entrance may be modern.
A bank of earth and stone, 1m wide 0.2m-0.3m high, parallel to the interior of the enclosure and 4m away, upon the west side is probably an old field bank. It can be traced along the north side, and may be associated with the fragmentary remains of a rectangular enclosure on the north-east side, against the interior.
There are traces of old field banks in the east half of the enclosure, which is under pasture. The west half is under bracken, but there are no traces of internal occupation. The nearest water supply is a stream to the SSW 300m away. There is no evidence for dating this site.
There is no local knowledge of the urns reported to have been found on and near this site and no knowledge as to their present whereabouts. (7)

Listed as pre-Roman Iron Age univallate (Forts, settlements and enclosures). (8)

The work, in fair condition, consists of a single rampart and outer ditch, now superficial on the north and west sides only. The whole is in the local Iron Age tradition and is defensive, although its position has no great natural strength. Published survey (25 inch) revised. (9)

NU 026 266. Trickley Hill camp. Scheduled No ND/220. (10a)

The site appears on several aerial photos in the NMR collection. It looks much as described above - as an oval enclosure with a modern wall along the eastern side and a second defensive bank following the course of the first along the western and northern sides. An irregular rectilinear ditched feature within it may represent some sort of internal feature. The site has been mapped from the air as part of the Milfield Geoarchaeology Project.
