Part of the earthworks

Cawthorne Camp (sometimes spelled "Cawthorn") is a Roman site in north-east England, about Шаблон:Convert north of Pickering, North Yorkshire.[1] The well-preserved earthworks outline two forts, one with an extension, and a temporary camp built to an unusual plan.[2] The earthworks date from the late 1st/early 2nd century AD. It has been suggested that they were built for practice rather than for actual military use.[2]

Archaeological investigation has also found indications of pre-Roman activity at the site, and also traces of later sunken dwellings (Grubenhäuser).[3] A late Iron Age chariot burial was discovered at the site in 1905 by J. R. Mortimer and at least one other square barrow is known from the site.[4]

The site was acquired by the North York Moors National Park in 1983.[5]
