(NU 02342735) Camp. (1)

A roughly circular enclosure. No ditch. the bank is unusually massive, averaging 8ft high and 10ft wide at the top. The entrance is to the east. There are two compartments in the northern half. The bank is of earth and stone, and immediately north of the entrance are there remains of the original outside fencing. (2)

(Plan shows entrance on the east side). (3)

Circular enclosure with one rampart about 45 yards in diameter with an entrance to the north-east. Two low walls forming two divisions near the entrance were probably dwellings. (4)

Fowberry Moor. Circular earthwork with single rampart enclosing approximately 1/4 acre. (5)

Type B2 (Forts on high ground less dependent on natural slopes for protection). (6)

NU 02342735. A circular enclosure, diameter 44m on top of a slight rise of ground, at about 480 feet above OD in ground covered by rough pasture, and scattered trees and bushes.
The enclosure is bounded by a strong, well-preserved bank of earth and stones. In places, the stones can be seen to form a solid core to the bank, which is very steep sided on the exterior, but which slopes more gently to the interior. The bank is broad, and has a flat top varying in width from 1m-2m on all sides except the east side. The width at the base is 6m-7m, and the height is from a maximum of 2m on the north and east sides, to a minimum of 1m on the south-west side, where the bank is cut into by a modern stone dyke for about 12m and for the construction of which the bank may have been robbed, and lowered in height.
A simple entrance, with no sign of revetting at the sides, with a floor of hardcore, 2m wide, is in the north-east side.
Against the north-west bank, where natural slopes merge with the bank on the interior, is a scooped hut circle, 10m diameter, scooped to a maximum depth of 0.5m into the slopes. A possible hut circle, 4m diameter is against the north side, where there is a circular depression, of maximum depth 0.3m, with traces of a bank on the south-west side. Other possible traces of internal occupation may be hidden by close bracken in the north and east quadrants. Elsewhere the ground is hummocky, but there are no surface traces of occupation. No entrances to hut circles. No traces of antiquity north of the entrance. The 'low walls' referred to may be obscured by bracken, but were not located. The nearest water supply is a spring 200m to the south. The strength of this earthwork, plus excellence of remains, suggest it to be later than the type of homestead which in this county has been assigned a 'probable Roman native' classification, and it may possibly be Dark Age or Early Medieval, however precise dating information is lacking.

Listed under Romano-British enclosed stone-built settlements. (8)

Apart from mutilations of the eastern bank and re-afforestation, the work is in fair condition and is an example of a localised type of Romano-British settlement. Published survey (25 inch) revised. (9)

A circular enclosure. Bank about 5-6 feet in height, no ditch. Single entrance on east side. The whole of the east bank appears to have been destroyed when a forest ride past the site was constructed. The enclosure has a diameter north-south of about 36m the banks of stone and soil are about 2m high spread to 5m wide. A stone wall on the west side closely follows the line of the bank and predates the two walls to north and south. (10)

Parts of the enclosure can be seen through the gaps in the tree cover on vertical aerial photographs taken in 1946 and 1947. (11a-b)

These photos have been used to map the site as part of the Milfield Geoarchaeology Project (see archive object MD000297). (11)
