Warham Camp Norfolk
Warham Camp Norfolk are monstrous double banked circular earthworks that anywhere else other than Norfolk would be an iron age hillfort but as Norfolk is flatish they are not on top of a hill so had to be called Warham Camp.
Which does beg the question, is Warhamp even a hillfort to start with? Are the other great earthworks "hillforts" in Norfolk forts? Are the hillforts found elsewhere in the country hillforts? Or were they original designed for some other purpose that required the shapes and banks?
Warham Camp or Hillfort Norfolk - aerial view
Warham is very large considering it was built by hand but it is hidden away behind the hedges as the great double ditch banks/ramparts/walls go down into the Norfolk chalk land around it.

The 2 images above show the tops of the inner bank and the flat central area. They also show how Warham is not a hillfort.
Warham Camp is found on the Cromer Ridge (geological feature) but most importantly I feel it is beside the River Stiffkey, an ancient chalk stream. A number of the great Norfolk history and sacred buildings are found by chalk streams, Sandringham and Abbeys etc.
The River Stiffkey also goes beside
Fiddlers Hill at Warham, which is said to be an ancient Burial Mound but has shared features with Burnt Mounds found elsewhere in England.
Also in the area are clear signs of the
mysterious Norfolk Shrieking Pits or what are likely to be
Carolina Bays in an Electric Universe.
