Boringdon Camp

Boringdon Camp is an English Iron Age and Roman earthwork in Cann Woods, near Plympton, Plymouth, Devon [1]. The site is on a hilltop at 140 metres above sea level, with views down the Plym Valley of Plymouth Sound, 11 kilometres away [1]. The fort is constructed around an earlier ring ditch, and covers an area of around 2 hectares [1]. The remains consist of a sub-circular enclosure surrounded by an 8-metre rampart and a similarly sized outer ditch [1]. This ditch can still be seen in places, though tree planting has covered some of the defences around the main entrance [1]. The site was listed as a scheduled ancient monument in 1939 [1].
