The much-smaller Camp #3 lies wholly within this camp's southern perimeter. |

A gateway with tutulus outwork lies in its western side - the only side fully recorded - and a linear earthwork complete with tutulus some 200 ft. in from these western defences indicates at least two phases of occupation. |
