Buckton Moor South Camp (Kyloe)
[NU 07003758] Earthwork. (1)
A circular camp with two ramparts, and an entrance in the south-east. (2)
Little more than a 'site', but recognisable as a native fort. (3)
Listed as pre-Roman Iron Age univallate [forts, settlements and enclosures]. (4)
A reduced earthwork situated on the summit of a slight rise, and consisting of a scarped sub-circular platform surrounded, at a lower level, by an earthen bank 15m wide and 1.5m high (where best preserved) with traces of an outer ditch. There are vague indications of an inner bank on the lip of the platform, but this effect may only be due to overlying rig and furrow. No internal remains are apparent. The non-defensive situation precludes a fort, but the form and obvious original strength of the work support an Iron Age origin. Published survey (25 inch) revised. (5)
Condition unchanged. (6)
Earthwork remains of a circular ditched enclosure. Visible on infra-red line scan imagery. (7)(8)
Scheduled. (9)
