Horton Camp
Date Added: 24th Aug 2011
Site Type: Hillfort
Country: England (Gloucestershire)
Visited: Yes on 24th Aug 2011. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 4 Access 4
Horton Camp submitted by TheCaptain on 29th Mar 2004. Horton Camp Hillfort, South Gloucestershire, ST765845, March 2004.
View looking northwest along the remaining bank across the top of the hill. There is no sign of a ditch. The "inside" of the camp is to the left.
I may well be wrong, but I think that this bank may be a former internal division of what was once a much bigger camp taking in the entire promontary, not just the southern end.

Log Text: Wonderful views from SW round to NW with Drakestone Point and Brackenbury Ditches easily made out but why are Horton and Sodbury Camps so close to each other (1.5km) - Sodbury has larger earthworks Horton has the Cotswold Scarp

Old Sodbury submitted by Thorgrim on 18th Oct 2003. The internal banks and ditches are rectangular with rounded corners, very like the layout of Roman forts. This suggests that a Roman fort has been added to an earlier one.

Log Text: The field has been divided up by the owners of Crackstone Stables (to keep pasture for horses separated) and it has been done in an unsightly way which rather detracts from the scene - quite a puzzle this site

Log Text: Unusually an oval Round Barrow - it is more likely to be Iron Age than Roman - another RB just 50m to S leads to the notion it is earlier - they often went in pairs - the Roman burial could be an intrusion - did Witts suspect this but having made a mistake with another barrow locally fail to appreciate the logic - trying to play 'safe' - Playne thought it was more likely to be Iron Age
