Mount Pleasant Enclosure (Alnmouth)
-
Description
There is a camp about 200 yards from the north end of Alnmouth on the east side of the road. It is as shown by Mr MacLauchlan's plan, an irregular quadrangle, about 90 yards in length from north-south by 70 yards from east-west. (Due to lack of detail it is not possible to determine whether the camp is bounded by a bank or a ditch or both). Known as Night Folds, Beacon or Watch Hill; traces of rampart visible on west with present road on that side probably on the ditch, and remains of the ditch on north. (2) Entrance at north west covered by a traverse of the rampart. (3) Alnmouth camp - ? traces of circular camp near. (4) This earthwork, which has been shown on OS 6 inch as Camp (Site of), consists of an irregular enclosure bounded by an earthen bank on all sides except on the west where the modern road probably lies upon its course....... -
