Full description
Bury Camp is a roughly circular Iron Age/Romano-British earthwork in a good defensive position. There is an outer bank on the north-western side of the round protecting the line of access, with a bank up to 4.0m high with a ditch having a counterscarp bank 0.6m high. The inner bank varies in height between 1.0m and 2.5m. The earthwork makes the best use of the natural topography. The monument is covered in grass except on the south-east corner where saplings are growing. The areas between the ramparts have been severely damaged by cattle. A house and garden are built over the western part of the annexe (h1,h2). It is visible on air photographs (p1) and was plotted as part of the NMP.
