From Pastscape: "A possible prehistoric enclosure identified near Oldbury Court during the 18th century. In December 1928 earthworks including a mound about two feet high and 55 feet by 40 feet, surmounted by trees, were recorded east of the house. Other earthworks were identified in the fields across the road east of the Training College."

Near to Oldbury Court "... is a small camp, which gave name to the place". (1)

Oldbury Court Camp - "On the hill above Oldbury Court in the parish of Stapleton (now Bristol) .... there was a small camp which gave the name to the house (Witts quotes Rudder). I have not been able to visit this locality, but the owner of the property informs me that he is unable to now trace any defensive works."

In December 1928 Davies noticed a mound about two feet high and 55 feet by 40 feet, surmounted by trees, about 200 yards east of the house just in side Oldbury Park, and bumps in the fields across the road east of the Training College. (2)
