Camp. (1)

An approximately circular enclosure with two ditches and two ramparts. (2)

This earthwork, nearly circular, has two ramparts with a ditch between. The diameter of the ditch is about 100 yards and the area covered by the earthwork about two acres. Situated in a plantation and difficult to examine. (3)

Fox Covert. Circular earthwork with multiple ramparts enclosing approximately 1/2 acre. (4)

Area centred NU 0294 3294 Remains of an earthwork upon the east end of a ridge of farmland, with extensive views to north and south. The site is covered by full grown trees.
The earthwork is roughly circular, approx 110m overall diameter, and consists of two ramparts with a medial and outer ditch.
The inner rampart and medial ditch are well preserved but the outer rampart and outer ditch have been obliterated at two points on the south-west and south-east sides, where fences have crossed the perimeter of the site.
The inner rampart is 11m wide, 0.5m maximum height on the east side, rising to 1m on the west side. The outer rampart is 11m wide, and of maximum height 1m on the east side, maximum height of 1.5m on the west side. The medial ditch is very slight, about 0.1m deep, 3m wide. The outer ditch is of maximum depth 0.3m, and approximately 5m wide. There are no surface indications of internal occupation. There is an entrance in the south-west side. The nearest present water is a stream adjacent to the north-east.
The topographical situation, method of construction and strength of the site, is characteristic of the Iron Age. (5)

The full grown trees which covered this site have now been cut down and the area replanted, the earthwork being partially mutilated in the process. The earthwork, consisting of two ramparts with a medial and outer ditch, is roughly circular and measures c.95m in diameter overall. The north half of the earthwork is quite well preserved but the south-east segment has apparently suffered in the timber operations, the ramparts being much spread. The ramparts vary in width from 10m-13.5m and in height from 1.3m on the north segment to 0.4m on the south. The medial ditch has an average depth of c.1m below the top of the inner rampart on the north side. The outer ditch, partially obliterated on the south-west, has an average depth of c.0.8m below the top of the outer rampart. The probable entrance is in the west side.

Earthwork. (7)

Listed as pre-Roman Iron Age multivallate (forts, settlements and enclosures). (8)

No change. The site has no natural strength but the construction of the work is clearly defensive and typical of the local pre-Roman Iron Age. (9)
