The Iron Age ditched enclosure located 270 metres north-east of Warham Camp is a defensive earthwork dating to the pre-Roman Iron Age period. The monument comprises a ditched enclosure whose physical form reflects the settlement and fortification practices characteristic of Iron Age communities in East Anglia during the first millennium BC. Its proximity to Warham Camp itself, a more substantial Iron Age hill fort, suggests the enclosure may have functioned as a subsidiary settlement or outwork within a broader landscape of Iron Age occupation and land management. The site survives as an archaeological monument of regional significance for understanding Iron Age settlement patterns and defensive strategies in Norfolk.
