Description
No trace of a Roman Camp was found at Wallhill and it is probable that there never was one. The ‘camp’ indicated by Cartlidge comprises an old road running roughly north - south with a marl pit adjacent to it. The north side is a 0.7m high scarp which is probably an old field boundary. There is no trace of an embankment above this scarp and no indications that there was ever a complete enclosure. The site is on wet, sloping ground.
