Western Rampart At Upton Lovell Camp Is Being Damaged By Sheep

The Year’s Work In Archaeology 1921 published by the Congress of Archaeological Societies (in union -with the Society of Antiquaries of London) and printed by the Hampshire Advertiser Company Limited, 45 Above Bar, Southampton, 1922, included:

Upton Lovell. Mr. Crawford reports that the western rampart of this curious camp is being damaged by sheep in three places. The damage is at present slight, but the protecting cover of down turf has been broken and large bare patches formed on the slope. These will be enlarged, not only by sheep, but by the weather and probably later on by rabbits. The camp has never been ploughed but is otherwise in a very perfect condition.
