03/03. The circular earthwork is difficult to photgraph, but a bit easier to see when you see it on the ground.

The Holmes

Enclosure

stubob Feb 7, 2003

This circular enclosure lays right next to the Roman road Batham Gate.
Over the years the enclosure was thought to be a Roman camp of some kind, until the road was found to built over and around the section of the enclosure it crosses over.
Nowadays it’s thought to be a stock enclosure dating to the Bronze or Iron Age.
A modern drystone wall cuts the site in half.

Access is easy as it’s by the side of the road, parking on the lane ain’t.
