The entrance from the minor road. Stanwick Iron Age Fortifications is a huge Iron Age hill fort, sometimes regarded as an oppidum, located in Richmondshire, North Yorkshire, some 7 miles west of Darlington. Over 5½ miles of ditches and ramparts enclosed approximately 740 acres of land, the stronghold of the Brigantes kingdom during the early stages of the Roman occupation of Britain. The features now visible are the excavated remains of only a small part of the site. A Scheduled Ancient Monument with much detail at: https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1016199
