Visit to Dam Close, Willoughby, January 2025 (2)
A small group visits the impressive earthworks (in the background), which were originally thought to be the remains of a Roman or Danish camp. However it is now thought to be the remains of a probable medieval enclosure or ringwork. A function of the earthwork as a stock enclosure has been suggested.

Dam Close, Willoughby
"Dam Close" appears to be two fortified enclosures with entrances on the north and south sides. The banks have been reduced in height to the north west and end in a small hollow and subsidiary enclosure. To the south east the area has been levelled. See http://www.heritagegateway.org.uk/Gateway/Results_Single.aspx?uid=MLI42004&resourceID=1006
I first spotted this enormous and spectacular medieval site at Willoughby from the air (Image). Incredibly I had a job to find anyone in Willoughby who knew it was there.
