MenuThe Castles, Durham
The Castles (or 'Castles Camp') is an earthwork of uncertain date about three miles south-west of Crook in County Durham. It is a trapezoidal enclosure covering just over an acre with dry stone rubble walls averaging 16 feet thick and originally 11 feet high. There is late ridge and furrow inside the enclosure. Trenching of the site has failed to establish its function. A few Bronze Age flints have been found on the site. It is within the council area of County Durham.
