Priory Wood Camp (ST 361 905) is in the Parish of Caerleon and is 100m OD. The site is situated on the top of a hill overlooking the Usk Valley to the north and the coastal plain to the south. Permanently under pasture, the site shows slight traces of a square earthwork with what appears to be a smaller square inside. The whole site incorporates an area of approximately 1.6 hectares. On the north side of the outer earthwork, there are traces of a faint bank and ditch, which can be best defined at the north end. The bank is 6m wide to 0.2m high on the inside; 0.6m high on the outside with a slight outer ditch measuring 2m wide and 0.2m deep. There is a faint bank outside of this which measures 3m wide. At the southern end the bank takes a right angled bend towards the southwest and continues at a height of 0.6m. Outside the bank there is a berm that is 6 to 7m wide with a drop of 0.3m below it. The bank then turns at another right angle towards the north west. Along the south western end, inside of the bank is a depression of 8 to 10 m in diameter and about 0.8m deep. Along the north western side a ditch that is now overgrown with a hedge makes up the field boundary. Inside of the enclosure are what appears to be the remains of another square. The 27 south eastern side has traces of a faint scarp that is approximately 0.6m high and at the north western corner there are traces of a corner.
