Full Description

Linear features, corner of subrectangular enclosure. Some straight, linear ditches forming rectilinear features of some sort. (1) (2)
2 sides visible above possibly linking up via N side to form large enclosure with rounded corners (and internal features). (3)
(T5200) Large Ro marching camp - E, N and W defences visible. The W ditch is uninterrupted for 600ft but could be longer. The E-W dimension is 1150ft. The camp's position, away from any known Ro road, and size, possibly large enough for a legion, could give it a conquest date. (5)
Perambulation of the indicated area produced nothing of interest. (6)
Morph: 200.3.1 temporary camp. (7).
See L3599 for cropmarks W of Holme Lane.
