Description
A large hill top camp of an ovoid shape defended by a double intrenchment. Entrance is on E side and is uncurved. This camp has a curious feature on SW side: a loop is formed with a single vallum and fosse and a slight outside bank, this is probably of later date. This camp was dug by Mr.Winboit in 1929 and results were practically negative except for a few flints. As on AM7 except that southern side of ramparts have been obliterated, I should imagine some time ago, by cultivation. The ramparts are impressive. The inner bank at NE section is 6m wide, 3.5m high going down to 6m in the ditch.
