  • Description

    Caistron. An irregular earthwork with single rampart enclosing the area of approximately 2 acres. (Listed as native site). (2) Immediately east of Caistron, in a field called the Camp Field, is a ploughed down earthwork. The rampart has been thrown down and the ditch filled in on the east side during the making of a fence (a stone celt was found on the occasion). The north side is about 85 yards long and the east side 130 yards but the other sides are very irregular, conforming to the shape of the ground, and are nearly obliterated. The area enclosed is about 3 acres. The camp slopes gently towards the River Coquet, the old course of which ran about 80 yards below the rampart. There is a carefully formed way from the east front down to the water.....
