Ulston Moor Camp

Marching or Temporary Camp

This large camp lies about ½ mile NW of Cappuck on Ulston Moor. It was discovered by J.K. St. Joseph on air photographs taken in 1955 and its entire perimeter established on further A.P.’s by 1957. The camp is aligned SW-NE. A.P.’s taken in the late-1950’s revealed the north gateway, also a cross-ditch with a central gate some 230 ft. from the west side which is indicative of at least two occupation periods.
