4clydesdale7 visited on 8th Apr 2012 - their rating: Cond: 2 Amb: 3 Access: 4 Another town site ravaged by modern development - the wells to the NE seem interesting
The hillfort commands the NE entrance to Stow on the Wold just to the east of the Fosse Way but as often happens near a town the Camp has suffered the ravages of town expansion development over time (the most recent being a Doctors' Surgery!) - although its NE earthworks are readily and prominently visible the remainder (forming the NE quadrant of the town) has been built upon for over 200 years - the Camp is celebrated with its name being used for roads etc
All three of the Ancient Wells of Stow lie slightly further NE (outside the single 3m high bank) - far quieter than the remaining parts of Stow in the packed summer tourist season - the Romans built a Villa on the West side of the Fosse Way
