Holkham Camp

Holkham Camp, or Holkham Fort, is an Iron Age fort in Norfolk, England, about 1 mile north-west of the village of Holkham [1]. It is a scheduled monument [1]. The western side is protected by a slope, and by a creek on the south-west [1]. The eastern side has a single rampart and ditch, with an additional outer bank at the south-east [1]. During the Iron Age and Roman era, the site was in the area of the Iceni tribe [1]. Holkham Camp is one of two possible sites corresponding to the description by the Roman historian Tacitus of the location of the defeat in AD 47 of Iceni rebels by a Roman force commanded by Ostorius Scapula [1]. The site may have been a feature in Mesolithic and Neolithic times, since finds include worked flints from these periods; they are thought to have been in their original location, as the site has not been ploughed [1].
