From Pastscape: "Soudley Camp is a probable Iron Age promontory fort and consists of an enclosed area roughly triangular in shape situated on the end of a spur that overlooks the junction of three valleys. The western and wider end is protected by a very large bank and ditch with a central entrance. The north and south sides are protected by precipitous natural slopes. These earthworks are visible on aerial photographs. "

Note: This site is worth highlighting as one that would benefit from some serious bracken clearance, as is happening around Lanyon Quoit
