GRINDON SCHOOL ROMAN TEMPORARY CAMP
-
Description
"...The earthwork remains of Grindon School Roman temporary camp. The ploughed-down remains of this small camp lie in an unusual position towards the bottom of the shallow valley of the Settlingstones Burn, 400 m S of the Vallum and at about 235 m above OD. The situation lacks any natural defences. Although the views are open to the E, the camp is dominated by a false crest, 100 m to the N and 13 m higher, which seriously restricts visibility. So, to a lesser extent, does rising ground to the S and W. The camp is approximately square and measures only 32 m across internally...." -
