This site, rectangular earthwork on the slope of Camp Hill, north-west of Rispain Farm was thought to be a Roman Camp until it was excavated in the late 1970’s when radiocarbon dating established it as a defended Homestead dating to around 60 BC.
The surrounding ditch is roughly rectangular and was almost 6 metres in depth with upcast banks on both sides. The entrance gate is on the East/NE side with archaeological evidence for a wooden gateway. The enclosed area measures some 0.35 hectares.
