Details Remains of rectangular enclosure, at one time thought to have been the remains of a Roman camp. The enclosure is situated in a sheltered hollow, its longer axis north-south with banks 0.91 m high. This is a completely indefensible position, ruling out its use as a Roman Camp. It is almost certainly associated with the 19th Century brickworks. According to local information bricks were found in quantity when the enclosed area was ploughed a few years ago. The name 'Camp Hill' is not known locally. A rectangular enclosure is depicted at this location on the OS 1st edition map but not on the 2nd edition.
