HAZZLEDINE WARREN! STUDY OF PRE-HISTORY IN ESSEX. 17I 
two works consist, like that at Pleshey, of a large moated 
mound, with outer works of horse-shoe form. Neither 
of them is referred to in Domesday book as an inhabited 
site, so they can hardly be Saxon strongholds, and are 
probably earlier.* 221 
Navestock Common (R. Meldola, E.N., viii., 1894, pp. 213- 
215 ; copy of MS. plan by Stukeley). Only a fosse now 
remains, but it is concluded to be the site of Stukelev’s 
“ A late Temple of the Druids ” [223]. 222 
4 ‘ The Alate Temple ” (S. C. Hoare, E.N., viii., 1894, pp. 220- 
223). Quotation from Stukeley, and other information. 223 
Fortification Wood ( E.N. , viii., 1894, p. 217). Near Bois 
(or Boys) Wood, Navestock, a small camp situate in a wood. 
[223] Formerly known as the “ Defence of Navestock.” 224 
Toot Hill, near Ongar ( E.N. , xii., 1902, p. 263). Trenches 
may still be traced round the cottages and gardens of 
Toot Hill. 225 
Ingatestone ( E.N. , xviii., 1915, p. 16). A straight earthwork, 
known as “ Moore’s Ditch,” on Mill Green Common, of 
very uncertain date, possibly rather modern. 226 
Brentwood ( E.N. , iii., 1889, p. 211). A circular camp, enclosing 
about 3 acres, and occupying a commanding position in 
Weald Hall Park. 227 
Withambury(F. C. J. Spurrell, E.N., i., 1887, pp. 19-22. Plan.) 
In shape it is between a square and a circle. There is an 
inner enclosure, and an outer rampart and ditch about 450 
yards in longest diameter. The English Chronicle records 
that it was “ wrought and getimbred ” in A.D. 913, after 
the Burg at Hertford was finished. 228 
Withambury (T. V. Holmes, E.N., i., 1887, p. 73). Points out 
that the palisading of A.D. 913 may not include the original 
throwing-up of the earthworks. 229 
Danbury Camp (F. C. J. Spurrell, E.N., iv., 1890, pp. 138- 
140. Plan, with the previous plan of Withambury reproduced 
for comparison). The two are of the same type, and 
evidently of the same date, although differing in detail. (Visit 
to, E.N., vii., 1893, p. 101, reprint of Spurrell’s plan). 230 
Rayleigh (T. V. Holmes, E.N., x., 1897, pp. 152-158, map). 
A high mound, with outer horse-shoe works, Domesday 
Book records a “ castle ” on this site. (Visit to, x., 1897, 
p. 133.) The recent investigation by Mr. J. Francis 
has shown that it was a Norman Castle, with a keep on 
the mound. There does not seem any evidence at present 
to show that the earthworks are earlier. 231 
*Mr, Miller Christy informs me that these works are Norman.
