Chew Green (Alwinton)

Description
"There is a complex of Roman military camps at this remote location. A Roman fort, two fortlets, two camps and a section of Roman road can be seen here. Over these remains lie traces of medieval settlement with a small chapel. The southern camp is the largest feature at Chew Green. It is roughly square in shape and encloses an area of over 7ha within a rampart and a surrounding ditch. In places the line of the defences is obscured by later parts of the monument. There is a gate in three of the sides. Archaeological excavation in 1937 uncovered what may have been the ditch of a Roman fortlet, which was subsequently constructed over the south-eastern quarter of the camp...." -
