I love it when you put your neck on the line like that Nathan...... one big one or go home..... I don't know if it is a Roman feature, looks OK-ish to me. If it is, there is no point in having it on the forward slope like that unless it's covering the approach to something else on the ridge top, hence I think if it is some earthwork-age then it is part of a complex, not a stand alone feature. So I'll take it as a potential reinforcement of a multi-camp scenario. In this case such a feature covers the ridge approach, the dead ground to Castle Dykes and is overlooked by and within range of any "bolt flingers" at the Dykes and Weedon Hill. Lovely interlocking fields of fire for a defender with their back against the wall.
That said in a world that is so unpredictable these days it's great to have some constants... happy 2017.
