The escarp- ment partially re- mains, and the only indication of an entrance is on the eastern extremity. Stoke Fleming ( cxxvii, 15).—Woodbury Camp, 2 miles west of Dartmouth, is an elliptical camp on a gradually sloping eminence. The north side, with its two angles, is defended by a rampart and fosse, the south-west by a shallow ditch only, and the south-east has been denuded of protection by the action of the plough. The strongest part lies some distance back, but facing the high road. The northern vallum rises 9 ft. from the interior of the camp, and stands 14 ft. above the base of a fosse 5 ft. deep. At its eastern end it curves to the south, the rampart widens and the fosse terminates, an indication that an entrance was at this point. At the north-west curve is a strong agger 200 ft. long, which rises 10 ft. from the in- terior and descends 28 ft. per- pendicular measurement into a fosse I o ft. deep ; at its northern end is another entrance, and at the southern the circumvallation consists of a trench Woodbury Camp, Stoke Fleming. 610.
