A very large camp (being one of two in Gloucestershire called Norbury) close to the Village of Farmington on a ridge of a hill. Not all the earthworks have been found but it is believed they enclose an area of about 80 acres. Many of the banks and ditches have been lost to the plough. Witts has a very good description which still applies today.
