Margaret's Camp gate
This area of the Gastons has been developed somewhat over the latter part of the twentieth century. The core of the earthworks remain open to the public, however. For the time being at least!

Camp moat
The remnants of the old earthworks have softened over the years but the recent flooding has left a fair amount of water in the bottom of the ditches. It lends some effect of what it perhaps used to look like. Many eminent historians have puzzled over Margaret's Camp, but few believe it was originally part of the Battle of Tewkesbury of 1471. A fairly popular theory relates that this small moated area was part of some older manor house or farmstead. There are some straighter ditches to the west and it's thought they concern water management - something that would be necessary in this low-lying part of Gloucestershire near the River Severn!

Moated mound
This is Margaret's Camp, an area of the Gastons that has puzzled historians for a long time. Although it seems certain that Margaret of Anjou, queen to Henry VI, did actually establish a camp here before the battle of 1471 (and hence the name), the earthworks are rather older. Intriguingly, the highest point is a squarish mound of about 30m width, with some watery ditches around it and an 'L-shaped' embankment to the west of it. Other ditches lead off toward Gupshill Manor. See Image] for more views.
