Summary

Description
English: Yarborough Camp, defensive bank. Yarborough Camp is a hill fort. It is hidden away discretely in woodland, but can be appreciated in the winter, when the undergrowth has died back. The exact date is unknown as there has not been a recent excavation. It gives its name to the Yarborough wapentake, and was a muster point in Anglo Saxon times. It is the kind of place that might have been used to launch an attack on the invading Saxons as it almost certainly predates them. (Its Old English name suggests that it was a prexisting fortification in the Anglo-Saxon period.) So is it too fanciful to suggest that this is the original Camelot?
