4clydesdale7 visited on 14th Jan 2012 - their rating: Cond: 3 Amb: 3 Access: 4 Nice tidy Camp - great views (except for one overhead electricity line) especially on a sunny but frosty January day
The current single bank about 8m wide and 1.5m high encloses an area of approximately 3 acres - there are just traces of another bank to the South - the entrance to the Camp about 10m wide is to the West.
The Camp is well documented in:-
(a) Rudders History of Gloucestershire 1779 p.830
(b) A paper by the renown G F Playne for the Cotteswold Naturalists Field Club 1875 Vol 6 p 210-11
(c) George Witts Archaeological Handbook of Gloucestershire 1883 Camp-108
(d) E J Burrows Ancient Entrenchments and Camps of Gloucestershire 1924
(e) Victoria County History of Gloucestershire Vol 6 (1965 Reprint)
(f) A H A Hogg's British Hillforts 1979
