Ancient Village or Settlement in Devon
Boro Wood Camp. Hillslope enclosure of probable Iron Age date, situated on the eastern promontory which forms the south-east extremity of Ausewell Hill at approximately 230m OD. The enclosure is approximately elliptical and constructed from stone rubble. The wall or rampart has been heavily robbed. There are several gaps in the wall though none may be identified as an entrance with any confidence.
The enclosure consists of a rubble bank forming an approximately elliptical circuit. It measures 256m by 160m and encloses an area of approximately 4.1ha. There is no obvious evidence of an external ditch. The rampart has been much disturbed and spread in places, and its course has been interrupted at several points, where stone is either partially or completely absent. The strongest and most undisturbed section is on the east side where the rubble stands to a maximum height of 1.5m with a spread of 9m.
