Stanwick Iron Age Fortifications (also known as 'Stanwick Camp'), a huge Iron Age hill fort, sometimes but not always considered an oppidum, comprising over of ditches and ramparts enclosing approximately 300 hectares (700 acres) of land,〔Haselgrove, C.C., Turbull, P. and Fitts, R.L., 'Stanwick, North Yorkshire, Part 1: Recent research and previous archaeological investigations', Archaeological Journal, No.147, 1990, pages 1-15, page 1 also John Wacher, in ''The Towns of Roman Britain'', states over 700 acres and 284 hectares.〕 are situated in Richmondshire, North Yorkshire, England. Whether Stanwick was the stronghold of Venutius or Cartimandua, or perhaps of them both for a brief time before their acrimonious split some time after 51 AD, it is certain that this settlement was one of the most important in Brigantia, the Brigantes kingdom during the early stages of the Roman occupation of Britain. ==Location and etymology== The fortifications are located north of the town of Richmond and south west of Darlington, close to Scotch Corner and the remains of the Roman fort and bridge at Piercebridge. Rising to a height of almost 5 metres (16 ft) in places, the ramparts completely surround the village of Stanwick St John and form one of the largest Iron Age settlements in Britain, in extent if not necessarily in population. The name 'Stanwick' is thought to be derived from the Old Norse word 'steinvegges', meaning stone walls; although an Anglo-Saxon etymology, from ''stān'' "stone" and ''wic'' "settlement", is also plausible.
