Fron Camp, Newcastle is a Scheduled Monument and a good example of a small enclosed settlement of Iron Age or Romano-British origin, with surviving enclosure earthworks.  It dates back from early Iron Age to Roman times (800 BC to 409 AD). 

The work is sub-rectangular with two straight long sides and curved ends. It measures overall 106m NW/SE by 80m transversely and comprises an earth and stone rampart, strongest on the exposed NW side with an outer ditch broken only at the SW corner, the site of the original entrance. The rampart on the NW side is 12m in width and 2m in height internally and 4m externally from the base of the ditch which is 8m wide and 1.2m deep. The rampart was considerably lower on the other sides, the natural slope having been taken into account, but it has been further reduced by ploughing and silting up to little more than an outward facing scarp 7m long and 2.5m in height. The ditch averages 8m in width and 0.5m in depth, but has been ploughed out completely on the NE side. No internal features are visible.

On display in Clun Museum are a pottery spindle whorl and Neo/BA scrapers from the Vron.

The site lies at the end of a spur, with the main bank on the SE side of a saddle, the enclosure itself in effect being on a small knoll. The site is in good condition under pasture and gorse, but the interior seems to have been ploughed at some point. The entrance shown on the VCH plan is merely a slight depression in the NW bank, perhaps farm access. The entrance seems to have been at the SW corner where the main bank breaks for a short distance and the ground is hollowed slightly.

The monument includes the earthwork and buried remains of a small enclosed settlement, which is either Iron Age or Romano-British in origin. It occupies a commanding position on the eastern end of a spur to the east of the summit of Fron. From this location there are extensive views of the Clun valley and the surrounding hills. Other small enclosed settlements in the vicinity which are broadly contemporary include an example on Castle Idris, 1km to the west, and Caer-Din Ring, 2.5km to the north west.
