Iron Age enclosure and Roman marching camp is a multi-period defensive site located in Devon combining evidence of Iron Age and Roman military occupation. The monument comprises an Iron Age enclosed settlement with associated earthwork defences, overlaid by or adjacent to a Roman marching camp, representing successive phases of activity across these periods. The site's physical character is defined by its ditched and ramparted enclosures, which preserve evidence of both the prehistoric settlement pattern and the Roman military's use of the landscape during their campaigns in the south-west. The superimposition of these two distinct period occupations makes the site archaeologically significant for understanding both Iron Age settlement strategies and Roman military logistics in the region.
