Broadbury Castle

The site comprises a single bank and ditch which enclose an almost square piece of ground measuring 58 by 68 metres (190 by 223 ft) across.^[1] Historic England state that it is the remains of a Roman marching camp,^[2] although firm evidence for this is lacking and an alternative interpretation as an Iron Age or Roman-British civilian settlement has also been proposed.^[3]

The site is legally protected as a scheduled monument, under the Ancient Monuments and Archaeological Areas Act 1979^[4]

Broadbury Castle was a familiar^{[clarification needed]} place for fox hunting, with Devon newspaper accounts stretching over fifty years.^[5][6]
