Fort, Camp Hill (Inv. 640)
I suspect that this is a Dark Age fort consisting of a citadel (A), an inner ward (B), and an outer ward (C). Enclosures A and B have had stone walls though in most cases these have been heavily robbed. C, on the other hand, is bounded by a ditch with upcast banks on either side, strikingly reminiscent of the works at Bonchester Hill (NT51SE 10). The ditch of C is visible in the pasture field at D on the sketch and the rest of the missing circuit is suggested by vegetational marks on the air photographs. This is a site which should certainly be planned.
