(NZ 03426698) Camp (GT). (1)

'Shildon Hill' a hillfort. (2)

A large entranced camp on a hill top. Oval-shaped. The ditch has been deep, and the ramparts considerable, with a ragged descent from them on the western side, but the slope on the eastern side is more gradual owing to the action of the plough. (3)

Remains of an earthwork upon the top of an isolated pasture-covered hill. Commanding position. Double ramparts and medial ditch extant only upon the south west south west side. No traces of the earthwork east of a stone dyke which crosses the site. Mutilation by stone quarries (disused) on the north west side. A hollow way passing obliquely through the ramparts on the south west side is probably an original entrance. No evidence of interior occupation. The nearest present water supply is a small stream 300m to the north. The site is approx 600ft above OD. (4)

From its topographical position, strength, and method of construction this earthwork it is considered to be the remains of an Iron Age hillfort. (5)

Listed amongst the pre-Roman univallate, forts, settlements and enclosures, that are one acre or less in size. (6)

Resurveyed at 1/2500 and correctly described above. (7)

The square earthwork on the north end of the camp is suggested to be part of a suspected Roman frontier - the 255 degree line. (8)

Defended Iron Age settlement and Romano British farmstead on the top of Shildon Hill. The defended settlement, which is roughly circular in shape measuring up to 90m diameter, is now largely only visible as a cropmark on air photographs but its western third remains as a substantial earthwork comprising two ramparts with a medial ditch. There is an entrance through the ramparts and ditch on the western side of the settlement, which is occupied by a hollow way which runs obliquely through it. Faint traces of roughly circular enclosures, considered to be circular houses, within the interior of the settlement have been seen on air photographs. Clear remains of a Romano-British farmstead, a ditched enclosure rectilinear in shape with rounded corners, have also been seen on air photographs. Its western side, with entrance, can be traced as a slight earthwork. (9)

An Iron Age defended enclosure and Roman enclosure are visible as earthworks and cropmarks on air photographs at NZ 0346 6700. A curvilinear defended enclosure sits on top of Shildon Hill and encloses and area of approximately 0.7ha. The western third survives as an earthwork comprising two ramparts with a medial ditch. A west facing entrance also survives. To the east of the modern wall that bisects the enclosure the ditch can be seen as a cropmark. Traces of a fine internal ditch are also visible and this may represent a pallisade trench. Within the enclosure is a sub-rectangular ditched enclosure which may be a farmstead of Romano-British date. It measures 57m by 63m. The western side survives as an earthwork. Other fragmentary ditches and pits are visible. The site have been partially mutilated by post medieval stone quarrying. No evidence for the circular houses noted by authority 12 was found on the availabe air photographs. (10d)
