Abstract:		 The excavations arose as a response to an encroaching area of landslip immediately to the east of a length of bank, and internal/external ditch of a presumed Roman marching camp (Scheduled Monument Ref: 1011392). a 20 m by 8 m excavation area was excavated, targeting (working from east to west), the outer ditch, the rampart and an area of ground within the camp to the west of the rampart. A suspected entrance way into the defences was also targeted. Excavations of the bank and outer ditch confirm that these were open during the Romano-British period and would indeed appear to be the rampart and outer defensive ditch of a Roman marching camp. The entranceway however was discovered to have a metalled surface within it and appears to have been a post-medieval adaption of the site. A thin internal ditch is thought to have been cut by a ditch-cutting machine during the early 20th Century use of the area for military training.
