A rounded corner and stretches of two adjacent sides, which may be part of a Roman camp, are visible some 700m from the harbour at East Haven. Recorded from the air in 1983 by Maxwell (1990a: 122), some 95m of the ESE side are known together with 45m of the NNE. The cropmarks are blurred by a morass of linear markings (drainage ditches and rig), and the area is littered with cropmark remains from the prehistoric to the medieval and modern periods.
