This site like many others took some effort to track down. As per many sites its actual location was NOT as stated by English Heritage but was in fact some 300m north in field to the immediate south of Fulney House. Although this camp has long gone its original entrance to the camp on Kellet Gate Road to the south of Fulney House alone with the camp road has survived
