Here's the entry for Norbury in Witts' Archaeological Handbook:
"In the parish of Farmington there is a large camp known as Norbury. It lies close to the village, one mile from Northleach, and half a mile to the east of the Fosse Way. It occupies the ridge of a hill, the north and east sides being defended by a single mound. On the south the slope of the hill has been artificially scarped, and on the west a mound and ditch cross the ridge on a curved line. The area thus enclosed is about 80 acres. The intrenchments, though still to be traced, have been much reduced by cultivation in some parts. Towards the west end of the enclosure there is a long barrow, and on the outside stands a round barrow. To the east are the remains of a Roman villa. An ancient road, probably the Green Way, seems to run through the camp from east to west; and another old road, called Letch Lane, leads from the east end to Salmonsbury Camp, near Bourton-on-the-Water.
