At the north-west the rampart widens at the south of the entrance ; but the place of entry is now excavated for a gravel-pit, of great size and 40 ft. in depth. Two streams flow at the north of the camp. Chawleigh ( xliii, 6).âOn the curve of a hill 493 ft, above the sea, but of no great height above the surrounding country, an earthwork near West Burridge Farm presents no special feature of a military character. The slightly raised mound with the ditch of an irregular crescent- form, is only a portion of that which once existed. It is situated some distance from the left bank of the River Little Dart; but a spring which rises within 200 ft. would have supplied water to those occupying this simple enclosure. It is too mutilated to discern the place of entrance, which was possibly on the north side. Lysons speaks of a camp here with a double vallum. Chittlehampton ( xxi, 13).âA small rectangular camp is situated on the summit of a gentle slope above a stream to the north of Brightley Barton. It is only 120 ft. long by 32 ft. wide, and the interior accommodation is very limited, the surrounding vallum restricting the area to 102 ft. long by 14 ft. wide. The two entrances are on the east side, at the two extreme ends of the eastern rampart, which is 5 ft. in height. This cannot be regarded as an outpost, as there are no remains of a greater camp in the nei
