Broadbury Castle

Also known as: Broadbury Castle Roman camp, Castelo de Broadbury

Broadbury Castle is an archaeological earthwork close to Beaworthy in Devon, England [1]. The site comprises a single bank and ditch which enclose an almost square piece of ground measuring 58 by 68 metres across [1]. Historic England state that it is the remains of a Roman marching camp, although firm evidence for this is lacking and an alternative interpretation as an Iron Age or Roman-British civilian settlement has also been proposed [1].
