Summary edit

Description
English: Prehistoric 'Loughton Camp' in the Epping Forest.
  • Loughton Camp is one of two ancient earthworks in Epping Forest, the other being Ambresbury Banks. They were constructed around 500 BCE, and were used variously as animal folds, look-out posts, and boundary markers between tribes.
  • There is some evidence to suggest that they may have been in use until after the Roman invasion. The banks enclose about four hectares of land and when built would have been about three metres high with ditches about three metres deep.
  • The highwayman Dick Turpin was rumoured to have had a cave or hideout here.
  • Located near Loughton in the Epping Forest District of Essex, and Greater London.
