TheCaptain visited on 26th Mar 2022 - their rating: Cond: 3 Amb: 3 Access: 4 Walking the Welsh Coast Path from Chepstow to Caldicot. Remains of iron age fortifications on the banks of the Severn estuary at Sudbrook, beside the railway tunnel pumping station and the landfall of the M4 Severn Crossing on the Welsh side. Lovely looking out to sea when the tide is in, not so lovely looking inland with the houses built so near.

This hillfort is recorded as Coflein NPRN 93873 which tells us: "Sudbrook Camp is a defended enclosure situated on the shore of the Bristol Channel at the southern end of the village of Sudbrook. It is defined by up to four lines of ditched ramparts that form a roughly triangular area, about 200m from east-north-east to west-south-west by 92m, resting on a low eroding cliff line on the south". The Coflein entry includes a number of digital images for this defended enclosure.
The Journal of Antiquities also includes an entry for Sudbrook Camp, Portskewett, Monmouthshire, which includes directions for finding this site, together with a photograph, a plan of the camp, a description, details of archaeological finds, and a list of reference sources for more information.
